National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) Winter 2022 – Postponed

NYLT – Leadership That Lasts a Lifetime

NYLT is an exciting 2 weekend advanced leadership course designed to teach Scouts the tools, techniques, and skills they need to be better leaders – not only in their Scout units but everywhere in their daily lives.  Scouts will take home skills, games, songs, and practices that will make their unit even better.

This unique 2 weekend course is led by Scouts, for Scouts. Participants will learn to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and work towards a vision. They’ll work in a patrol to practice Scouting skills and grow together as a team. NYLT teaches Scouts about themselves along with diverse skills so they return ready to lead in their individual units.

Sign up soon, our course is limited to 48 participants. You can hold a spot now for a $25 refundable deposit in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

NYLT is not like summer camp and is not designed for rank advancement or earning merit badges.  NYLT is a challenging hands-on advanced leadership training program.  It is essential that NYLT participants be physically, emotionally, and mentally prepared to handle the demands of this intensive training. In order to get the most benefit from this unique experience, participants must exhibit emotional maturity, positive attitude, and proficiency in basic camping and outdoor cooking.

Scouts should attend NYLT once they meet all Eligibility Requirements.  The course is especially useful for scouts who have an ambition to serve in leadership roles and are ready for the next level of training.
