National Youth Leader Training

 

National Youth Leadership Training will bring new skills and greater enthusiasm to your youth leadership. Scouting recognizes that Scoutmasters have the primary responsibility for training their youth leaders.

 

The purpose of NYLT is not to assume that role, but rather to support it. This week-long course features instruction in skills that can be used at home, at school, on the job, and, in particular, at the Scout unit level. Through activities, events, games, and adventures, NYLT participants will work hard and play hard together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.

 

Course Vision: The National Youth Leadership Training course will provide each scout participant an experience where he can learn to Be, Know and Do the highest ideals of scouting leadership.

 

Course Goals:

· Give participants the confidence and knowledge to conduct the troop program.

· Provide participants with a clear understanding of team and personal development and how those elements relate to being a leader.

· Guide the participants through the stages of team development.

· Create an environment of Scouting fellowship and fun guided by the Scout Oath and Law.

· Give participants the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts from other troops.

· Have fun and experience Scouting at its best.

This curriculum aligns the youth leadership training with the adult training in Wood Badge for the 21st Century.

 

Course Dates: July 12—17, 2010 at Warren Hood Scout Reservation

Participants must attend all (Monday–Saturday) sessions for the entire week long course.
