NYLT Weekend #1
Feb
28
to Mar 2
Chickasawhay, Spanish Trail, Singing River, Tall Pine, Training, Twin Rivers

NYLT Weekend #1

  • Pine Burr Area Council (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

https://www.pineburrscouts.org/2025-nylt

Pine Burr Area Council is pleased to offer National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) in Spring 2025. The purpose of NYLT is to bring a newfound enthusiasm for the leadership skills the BSA wants to instill in Scouts in the council. With NYLT, youth will be guided on the right path on how to get through the significant challenges of leadership and development. This two weekend course features instructions on unique skills that can be used at home, at school, in jobs, and most importantly, in a troop or crew. Through engaging activities, games, events, and adventures; participants will experience the best Scouting has to offer in this course!

MORE INFORMATION:

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

For many years, junior leader training (JLT) was an important part of the leadership training continuum of BSA local councils throughout America. In 2003 and 2004, a task force of leadership experts and hundreds of Scouts in pilot courses across the nation reviewed and tested every aspect of the new NYLT syllabus, which incorporates the latest leadership ideas and presents fresh, vital and meaningful training for today’s Scouts.

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 is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.

Built on the legacy of past JLT successes, the new NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skill 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.

In order to attend a NYLT course, a youth must have the following qualifications by the beginning of the course:

  • Must be a registered member of a Scouting unit.

  • Must have a current BSA Health and Medical Record form parts A, B, and C.

  • As of March 1, 2019, Scouts BSA members (male and female) must be at least 13. They must have completed Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops. For 2019 only, an exception will be granted for girls registered in Scouts BSA to attend NYLT without first achieving the First Class rank. Boys registered in Scouts BSA will still be required to earn the First Class rank before attending NYLT.

  • Venturers and Sea Scouts (male and female) must be at least 14, or 13 and have completed eighth grade, and fall within the maximum age allowance for their program. They must have completed Introduction to Leadership Skills for Crews or Ships. It is recommended that they have had at least one year of camping experience. While NYLT is not an outdoor skills course, it is important that each participant have basic camping and outdoor cooking experience.

  • Have a unit leader recommendation.
