Chapter History of the West St. Louis County Jaycees
Last Update: January 01, 2007

The West St. Louis County Jaycees were chartered in 1960 as the Ballwin Jaycees.

Our members have gone on in the Jaycees to become District Directors, Region Directors, State Officers, State Presidents, and National Vice Presidents.
Women were voted in as full members of the US Jaycees in 1984. The West St. Louis County Jaycee Women (which began as the Jaycee Wives) were merged with the West St. Louis County Jaycees in 1986.

In 1999, the Jaycee year changed from May-April to January-December.

The Senatorship is the most prized and cherished recognition honor that can be bestowed on any Jaycee for a job well done. This honor is voted on and extended by one's own chapter and peers, after having received approval of their state, and then both the national and JCI organizations. A JCI Senator is a life member of Junior Chamber International.
