National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)

NYLT_4k

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

National Youth Leadership Training incorporates the latest leadership ideas and presents fresh, vital and meaningful training for today’s Scouts.

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 the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

Built on the legacy of the Junior Leadership Training and Wood Badge programs, the NYLT course teaches the best in modern leadership theories during traditional scouting activities. Dynamic presentations and videos help keep scout’s attention focused on learning and gaining confidence in their abilities.
