Gulf Stream Council, Boy Scouts of America

About Us

The Gulf Stream Council, chartered in 1914, currently serves over 7250 Scouts and 2500 adult volunteers in a seven county area including Palm Beach, Martin, St Lucie, Indian River, Glades, Okeechobee and Hendry counties in southeast Florida.

Scouting is a year-round educational program designed to accomplish the aims of character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness through fun, adventure, service, achievement and leadership training.

Scouting builds character and community through a variety of activities including camping, canoeing, hiking, sailing, community service projects, and more. These hands-on activities instill a sense of confidence, preparedness and honor in our kids. Contrary to popular belief, Scouting isn't just for boys and young men. Scouting also offers venturing and exploring programs specifically geared to young women and men, ages 13–20.
