NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING
August 8-13, 2010 - HMSR

"It's WoodBadge for Youth Leaders !"

Your unit deserves not only well-trained adult leaders, but also well-trained youth leaders. National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), gives your unit's youth the tools they need for effective leadership.

NYLT is an intensive six day training experience for Senior Patrol Leaders, Assistant Senior Patrol leaders, Patrol leaders and other youth leaders as well as prospective troop leaders and venture crew leadership. The course uses a systematic approach to teach contemporary leadership skills, with an emphasis on both theory and practical application in a Scouting context. For the Scout who desires to be a better and more effective leader NYLT is an unparalleled opportunity.

We want to train scouts who want to learn! -- Because NYLT is an intensive training experience, participants should possess sufficient maturity, judgment and leadership potential to successfully complete the program. Each participant will be evaluated during the course on their Attitude (Be), Knowledge (Know) and Skills (Do). Parental AND Scoutmaster approval is required to attend.

Early fee is $200.00 if registered prior to May 31, 2010. After May 31 the full fee of $250.00 is required. Reservation Fee $50.00 due with application. Balance due no later than June 15, 2010. Many units budget this training or subsidize the cost of their youths' attending.
