SCOTT CITY–Wheatland Electric Cooperative, Inc., will no longer be taking applications for the 2021 Youth Tour to Washington D.C. or 2021 Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp in Colorado due to cancellation by the Kansas Electric Cooperatives (KEC), Inc. 

Trustees of the KEC, a service organization for Kansas’ 27 electric distribution cooperatives, voted during its Dec. 3, 2020, board meeting to cancel all out-of-state youth programs next year. KEC staff have indicated that they may organize a virtual youth leadership opportunity or a possible in-person statewide leadership conference, if deemed safe to do so, in place of next year’s out-of-state tours.

Wheatland Electric will communicate any information about a virtual or in-person leadership opportunity for high school juniors when this information becomes available to our membership and service area schools.
