What does NYLT do? 
   The purpose of NYLT is to support the Scout’s troop program. 
         The course will:

• Give participants the confidence and knowledge to run the troop program.

• Give participants a “Leadership Toolkit” to aid them in applying their newly acquired skills back in the Troop.

• Provide an opportunity to experience Scouting at its best.

• Allow participants to share ideas and experiences with Scouts from other troops.

• Enhance the relationship between the participant and his Scoutmaster.

• BE FUN!

Who is eligible to attend?
     To be eligible to attend a Scout must:

• Be a First Class Scout before the course begins.

• Be at least 13 years of age before the course begins.

• Currently hold a leadership position in the troop or have the potential and desire to serve in a leadership position.

• Have the approval of his Scoutmaster to attend the course.

We’ve never sent anyone before… Why should we now?

Sending Scouts to NYLT helps them develop their leadership potential.  This results in a smoother running unit.  If your Troop is committed to having a true Boy led Troop, your youth leaders need the skills presented in this course.

Isn’t the Troop or Scoutmaster training enough?

No. Troop and Scoutmaster training sessions were designed to be shorter and introduce the Youth Leader to his new leadership role.  NYLT builds on and enhances the skills and ideas introduced in the other sessions.  NYLT does not replace the training done by the Scoutmaster, it is to provide additional leadership skills and enhances the Youth Leader’s relationship with his Scoutmaster.

What does a Scout need?
     Participants are required to have:

• A complete Class A uniform (Scout Pants, Shorts, Scout belt, Scout socks, Scout shirt with all insignia properly sewn on, Scout hat (optional)

• A thorough knowledge of the Scouting skills required from Tenderfoot to First Class ranks

• A completed Health and Medical Record

• Scouts accepted will receive a personal equipment list with their acceptance letter.

Which Scouts do we send?

Send the Scouts who are now in leadership positions or soon will be. They are the ones that can put these leadership skills to work for the benefit of your unit and themselves now.
