The Connecticut Yankee Council of the Boy Scouts of America is located in Milford, Connecticut. The present council was formed in 1998 when Quinnipiac Council and Fairfield County Council merged.
Connecticut Yankee Council presently operates five camps: Camp Sequassen in New Hartford, Deer Lake Scout Reservation in Killingworth, Hoyt Scout Reservation in Redding, Camp Pomperaug in Union, and Wah Wah Taysee in North Haven. Owaneco Lodge is the Order of the Arrow lodge that serves this council.

Famous quotes containing the words yankee and/or council:
“Yankee Doodle came to London, just to ride the ponies,
I am a Yankee Doodle boy.”
—George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
