Murrells Inlet Boat Parade

08/19/2026

Our Parade Chairman Rep. Lee Hewitt was able to attend the Murrells Inlet Boy Scout Troop 396 summer Court of Honor and present the troop with a check from the sale of the Murrells Inlet 4th of July Boat Parade tshirts in the amount of $15,000! The scouts have participated in the event for over 30 years and have now raised over $400,000 to help support their activities, many of which give back to the community. Thanks so much to everyone that helped by purchasing a shirt!
