NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training)

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) will bring new skills and greater enthusiasm to your youth leadership. Scouting recognizes that Unit leaders have the primary responsibility for training their youth leaders. The purpose of NYLT is not to assume the 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.
