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.
