Shawnee Trails Council
THE PURPOSE:
National Youth Leader Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experiences they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding knowledge, responsibility, and leadership of self and others. The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as each scout goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership. Most of all, the purpose of NYLT is to HAVE FUN!
WHO MAY ATTEND NYLT:
To attend a NYLT course, every Scout MUST:
Be at least 13 years old.
Be at least 1st Class rank.
Be a current or prospective leader in his home troop.
Have approval from his Scoutmaster.
Because of the advanced nature of this program and the material presented throughout the week, the above requirements may not be waived. It is also strongly recommended that each scout have at least one or more lengthy camping experiences prior to attending the NYLT course, as this is truly an outdoor experience.
WHEN IS THE NEXT COURSE:
The council is planning a course for July 20-26, 2008. For reigstration material and more detailed information, click here.
