Scouting America strives to instill in young people the principles of integrity, character, responsibility, and leadership – preparing them to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes.

The Suwannee River Area Council’s goal is to provide a quality, dynamic program of learning and adventure that builds well-rounded young people. The Suwannee River Area Council was incorporated in 1924.

Since then it has been our honor to instill in the youth we serve the character, values and traditions that make Scouting stand apart in the crowd. We have been serving the youth of our thirteen county area in Florida’s Big Bend and Georgia’s Wiregrass region for over 100 years.

Our Council Office is located at: 2032 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32308. The office phone number is 850-576-4146. The fax number is 850-575-6991.
