SO WHAT IS NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING (NYLT)?
The National Youth Leadership Training Program (NYLT) is Scouting's premier youth leadership development program. It is offered in Councils throughout the country. NYLT is an intensive, fun, hands-on, & challenging six-day program that combines outdoor adventure & classroom instruction to provide Scouts with experience & tools for becoming great leaders. NYLT focuses on the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, & what a leader must DO. Participants learn & develop skills such as:
Communication
Problem Solving
Presentation Making
Team Development
Working with Adult leaders & Youth in Administrative Areas
Ethical Decision-Making
These skills learned at NYLT will benefit Scouts not only as youth leaders but in other aspects of their life.
As part of the NYLT course, Scouts are formed into patrols, then work & camp together at Scoutland for the week. Under the guidance of highly skilled youth staff, participants take part in indoor & outdoor challenges to develop & demonstrate their growing abilities. Activities including geo-caching, pioneering, role-playing, games, patrol competitions, overnight backpacking, & camping are all integrated into the course syllabus to help practice these skills, which come alive as each participant goes on their quest in the meaning of leadership. NYLT participants are asked to commit to applying the leadership skills learned in the context of their own unit, going forward from NYLT.
