National Youth Leadership Training
The Boy Scouts of America has an exciting weeklong training experience that has proven very valuable in the training of junior leaders - National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT). The Buckeye Council will offer NYLT in 2010 and your nominated Scouts are invited to participate. The goal of the Conference is to offer the participants the Leadership and Scouting skills necessary to be effective leaders in their troops, while helping them experience the fun and challenge of Scouting at its best. NYLT is run in a troop setting, utilizing the patrol method, and simulates a one month program of a troop, complete with troop meetings and an overnighter.
To attend, a Scout must be at least a First Class in rank, 13 years of age by the start of the course, currently filling a leadership position in the troop and be nominated by his SM. The Scoutmaster Handbook recommends NYLT, “This should be a ‘must’ for the senior patrol leader.” The conference is also endorsed in Scouting magazine, and in the Scoutmaster’s Junior Leader Training Kit. Discuss the conference with the members of your troop committee and the patrol leaders' council as soon as possible. The conference will be conducted in a camp setting so it is very important that the Scout have skills in hiking, camping, and cooking.
A “Scout’s Letter” you can share with Scouts and parents.
