Treasure Coast Girl Scouts Celebrate 114th Anniversary

Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida, the regional council serving Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties, marked the organization's 114th anniversary this month as part of a six-county southeast Florida division.

The regional council covers Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties. In Okeechobee County alone, about 500 girls and 75 adult volunteers are currently participating in the program — a figure that reflects the scale of the organization's reach across the broader region it serves on the Treasure Coast.
