Youth Executive Committee (YEC)

The Youth Executive Committee is a pilot program in the Boy Scouts of America established by the Patriots’ Path Council. This committee consists of male and female representatives, ages 14-20, from the Order of the Arrow, Venturing, Exploring, Sea Scouts, National Youth Leadership Training Staff, and the Council Youth Leadership Award recipients.

The purpose of the Youth Executive Committee is to have outstanding youth leaders assist in the organization of teenage Scouting events, provide youth input on various council committees, develop a new fitness incentive, create stronger bonds with outside organizations, educate youth in leadership training, and continue promoting the ideals and methods of Scouting.
