The Council is pleased to announce that three NYLT courses are now open for registration for 1 st Class and above Scouts and Venturers. Each youth applying must have your approval. More details on qualifications and on NYLT itself are available on the updated Council’s NYLT site. As in prior years, course participation is limited and courses tend to reach capacity early.
Dedicated volunteer and youth staff are currently preparing for these courses. We are in the final phases of outreach to potential youth and adult staff members. If you have a Scout in your unit who has completed NYLT, and is interested in serving on staff, please have them contact us.
The Scouts BSA NYLT course presents what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader must DO, by applying modern leadership and team development theories. Scouts will camp, work, play and learn - living a month in the life of a model unit condensed into an intense two weekend course. They experience the stages of team development, practice from a “toolbox” of leadership skills and learn that youth unit leadership requires vision, goals, and planning. They learn how to be a leading influence in their own unit; discovering resources, methods, games and new skills to make unit meetings, treks and other activities more exciting and worthwhile; skills that also help youth emerge as leaders outside of scouting - at school and in the community.
