The United States
Coast Guard Auxiliary:
is the civilian component of the US Coast Guard. Founded
in 1939 by an Act of Congress as the US Coast Guard
Reserves and re-designated the Auxiliary in 1941.
The 29,000 plus volunteer members donate thousands of
hours in support of Coast Guard missions.
The Coast
Guard does more than just Search and Rescue, and with
the exception of direct law enforcement and military
action, the Auxiliary is there, side by side, working
with regular and reserve Coast Guard units every step of
the way.
We in Flotilla 51 work directly with the men and women of
the US Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet.
Address: 3300 Lakeshore Drive, Riviera Beach, FL 33404
