National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed to give youth the methods, skills, and experiences to become better leaders in their unit. The course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he/she must KNOW, and what he/she must DO – with a clear focus on HOW TO accomplish all this.
Who should attend?
Scouts and Venturers who currently hold a key leadership role in their home unit or the unit leader feels has the potential to hold a key leadership position in the future and are ready for the next level of training should attend NYLT once they meet all Eligibility Requirements.

What NYLT is (and is not)
NYLT is not like summer camp and is not designed for rank advancement or earning merit badges. NYLT is an intense and challenging hands-on leadership training program. It is essential that NYLT participants be physically, emotionally, and mentally prepared to handle the demands of this advanced training. To get the most benefit from this unique experience, participants must exhibit maturity, a positive attitude, proficiency in basic camping and outdoor cooking, and have the ambition to serve in leadership roles.
