The Simon Kenton Council is offering three sessions of the National Youth Leadership Training. Each course will instruct the participants in advanced leadership skills based on the National BSA Syllabus, and The Youth Leadership Training Continuum.
NYLT is a 6-day experience based on the activities of a typical unit during a month of program. The course is a combination of classroom and practical exercises, all taught by a youth-led staff, modeling the best in leadership skills, using the teaching E.D.G.E.
The course is about vision based team building with a wide variety of fun and challenging activities.
The experience provides an opportunity for the participant to meet and develop teams from Crews and Troops from all over the Council’s diverse membership. This experience should model those times in scouting, school and future activities where it is required to form working teams from complete strangers, and accomplish leadership training activities, having fun while making permanent friends.
To qualify for this exciting training, a Scout must be First Class, 13 years of age, and recommended by his Scoutmaster. A Venturer must have equivalent outdoor skills and be approved by their unit leader. All participants should have had at least one long term camping experience and be comfortable living in the outdoors at a camp setting. We expect participants to abide by the Scout Oath and Law, governing all behavior.
