The Yankee Clipper Council is a council of the Boy Scouts of America serving 52 communities in northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire. The council was formed from a merger of the North Essex Council, North Bay Council, and Lone Tree Council in 1993. Greater Lowell Council merged with Yankee Clipper in 2000. Greater Lowell Council chose to merge with Yankee Clipper over three adjacent councils. Greater Lowell District formed the fifth spoke on the ship's wheel totem of the YCC council strip arm patch. The council now operates two camps; Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation, a Boy Scout Camp and Lone Tree Scout Reservation for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, after selling Camp Onway in 2007.
