Was having a discussion with a fellow pilot the other day and we were wondering who has the current record for most Young Eagles flown?
Here are the most recent records I could find on the Young Eagles website:

The current leader is Jeanne MacPherson of Montana who has flown 3,553 Young Eagles (as of 10/25/2006). The most Young Eagles flown in a single year was by Ed Dickman of Idaho, who flew 628 Young Eagles in 2003.

Now that I've got my Private Pilot certificate I'm excited to start getting involved in aviation outreach. Might be kind of fun to try to bust a record.

The Young Eagles program started in 1992 and has flown over 1.7 million flights. While the initial goal was to fly 1 million young people by 2003, our on going mission is to continue to introduce youth to flying. These flights are provided by volunteer pilots who participate in the program because they believe in the mission and want to pass on their passion for flying. We do not set hard goals for pilots to meet and we appreciate all of the pilots and ground volunteers who have helped the program become the success that it is today. We encourage all EAA member pilots fly Young Eagles be it 5 or 5,000. That said, here are a few of our pilot totals listed in the worlds largest logbook as of November 2012.

Damn! Impressive numbers, wow!

I have given two youth their first ride, but it was not affiliated with any EAA Chapter or Young Eagles program.
I have a lot of catching up to do!
