National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) 2024
National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is the pinnacle of Boy Scout training for youth. Every Troop and Crew deserves a Senior Patrol Leader that is trained and prepared for the responsibilities he or she faces. 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 taught with a strong emphasis on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as each new patrol embarks on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
