Though a challenging and fun program, Scouts learn leadership tools and skills and apply them within the Scouting context throughout the course, so that they can in turn carry these skills forward into their home troops or crews and other aspects of their lives such as school, family, church, and their future professions or careers. The NYLT course is for mature Scouts and Venturers at least first class in rank and 13 years old, who want to become better leaders. Potential participants must be approved by their Scoutmaster / Venturing Advisor, and be in a leadership position or have to potential to do so, in their home unit. The NYLT Course is split over two weekends and all participants must be in attendance the entire time in order to complete the course. |
| About NYLT The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) program is Boy Scouting's premier youth leadership development program. It is offered in Councils throughout the country. NYLT is an intensive, fun, hands-on, and challenging program that combines outdoor adventure and classroom instruction to provide Scouts with experiences and tools for becoming great leaders. NYLT focuses on the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader must DO. Participants learn and develop skills such as communication, problem solving, presentation making, team development, working with adult leaders and youth in administrative areas, and ethical decision-making. These skills learned at NYLT will benefit Scouts no only as youth leaders but in all other aspects of their lives as well. |
| "If you can SEE it, you can BE it!" As part of the NYLT course, Scouts are formed into teams and work and camp together for the course. Under the guidance of highly trained and skilled youth staff, participants take part in indoor and outdoor challenges to develop and demonstrate their growing abilities. Activities include geo-caching, pioneering, role-playing, games, team compititions, backpacking, and camping are all integrated into the course to help practice these skills, which come alive as each participant goes on their Quest for the Meaning of Leadership. |
| Who should attend NYLT? NYLT is a training course, participants should be mature enough that they can benefit from taking part and can serve in a meaningful leadership role in their home unit after participating. Participants must: |
