National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience that they can use in their home troops and crews, as well as other situations demanding leadership of self and others.
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he or she must KNOW, and what he or she must DO. The key elements are taught and practiced with a clear focus on HOW TO in a fun learning setting.
NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop/crew/ship and patrol-based, outdoor setting, with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and leadership processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to learn, understand and employ leadership skills much faster. 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 practice together as they put into action the best that Scouting has to offer.
