What is NYLT’s goal?
The purpose of NYLT is to provide a solid training foundation which will assist in training young leaders. The NYLT course operates as an ideal troop or crew using the patrol method and rotating leadership responsibility. NYLT is not designed to teach basic Scouting or Venturing skills, rather it strives to develop essential leadership strategies that will enable participants to help "keep their group together and get the job done right."
What can I expect from NYLT?
NYLT is an interactive, challenging and fun, emersive youth training experience. The highly refined course material builds on legacy successes and adds new strategies for developing leadership abilities through focused activities, games, presentations, challenges, and engaging discussions, and audio-visual support. NYLT participants will work and play together as they team up to become the new leaders of tomorrow.
Objectives
- Give participants the confidence and knowledge to conduct the troop or crew program in their home units
- Provide participants with a clear understanding of team dynamics and personal development
- Create an environment of fellowship and fun guided by the Scout Oath and Law and the Venturing Oath
- Provide the opportunity to share ideas, experiences and participate in the BSA program at its best
Who are the NYLT Staff?
NYLT is a youth-taught course with adult leadership supervision. The youth staff consists of a course leader, assistant course leader(s), and team guides. The adult staff consists of a course director, assistant course directors, and quartermasters. The NYLT syllabus is written and approved the National Boy Scout Council.
