LEC Advisors are adult volunteers who play a crucial role in supporting the Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). While the youth members lead and make key decisions, the Advisors provide guidance, expertise, and encouragement to ensure the committee operates effectively and achieves its goals. Here's what they do:

• Provide Mentorship Advisors: Mentor youth leaders, helping them develop essential skills such as leadership, planning, and decision-making. They serve as role models, sharing their knowledge and experience to empower the youth to succeed.

• Offer Strategic Guidance: Advisors help the LEC stay aligned with the lodge's mission and objectives. They provide advice on complex challenges and long-term planning, ensuring decisions are thoughtful and sustainable.

• Ensure Compliance: They ensure the lodge operates within the guidelines and policies set by the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouts of America, and the council. This helps maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the lodge's programs.

• Facilitate Resources: Advisors assist in securing the resources needed for successful events and operations, such as materials, funding, and logistical support. They work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly.

• Encourage Youth-Led Leadership: While they provide support, Advisors encourage youth members to take the lead in planning, decision-making, and managing lodge activities. Their role is to empower rather than direct, allowing the youth to develop confidence and independence.

• Promote Collaboration: Advisors foster a collaborative environment between youth leaders and adult volunteers. They ensure that communication flows smoothly and that everyone works together towards common goals.

In their advisory capacity, LEC Advisors balance offering support and stepping back, allowing the youth to lead while ensuring the lodge remains efficient, impactful, and true to its values. Their dedication helps create a thriving environment for the lodge and its members.
