| National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide all 13- to 20-year-old youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and in other situations demanding leadership of themselves and others. The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader 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 integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities providing hands-on, experiential learning; presentations; challenges; discussions; and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in developing leadership that will give them the skills and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, games, and adventures, participants will work and play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer. NYLT participants will return from the course with skills and confidence in all areas of leadership, including: - Communicating
