National Youth Leadership Training

June 20-25, 2010

Paul Bunyan Scout Reservation

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding 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 the patrol goes on a quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

NYLT is a 6 day/5 night course and limited to the first 48 participants who register. Content is delivered in Troop and Patrol settings. Emphasis is on immediate application in a fun environment. The NYLT course is similar to the Wood Badge for the 21st century course but is geared to youth ages 13 to 18.

A Scout can attend NYLT if he:

• Is a current or future troop youth leader.
• Is 13 years old by June 19, 2010.
• Has earned the rank of First Class.
• Has attended at least 2 long-term camps.

• Is capable of and can demonstrate all of the Scoutcraft skills for the First Class rank.
• Has attended a Troop or District TLT course.
