Why NYLT? 

An integral part of BSA’s Youth Leadership Training Continuum, NYLT is the next step after Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops/Crews (ILST/C). The Minsi Trails Council will be sponsoring a two Troop course in 2017 to provide additional opportunities for the Scoutmasters and Crew Advisors to train your youth leaders. The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course supports Scoutmasters and Crew Advisors in their primary responsibility of training youth leaders. The Minsi Trails Council will offer the two weekend course in April 2017.

Built on the legacy of past youth leader training courses, NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that gives them the skills and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, events, games, and adventures, NYLT participants will work and play together as they put into action the best that Scouting has to offer.

The course is set up to represent a month in the life of a Unit. Patrols experience the stages of team development. Participants discover that leadership requires vision, goals, and planning. Participants are provided a “toolbox” of leadership skills.

The National Youth Leadership Training is a classroom and outdoor experience for youth leaders in support of the Scoutmaster’s and Crew Advisor’s responsibility for the training of their youth leaders. It is conducted by the council leadership training committee using an outline approved by the Boy Scouts of America.

What’s the Cost?

  • The cost for the course is $200.00 per Scout or Venturer, which includes all food and training materials.
  • If fees are not paid in full by April 3, 2017 the fee is $250.00.
  • Troops and Crews are encouraged to pay at least part of the fee from their budgets.
  • SPECIAL OFFER - Minsi Trails Council Units who have not sent youth in the past to NYLT may send one for a fee of $100.00. The Late fee is $150.00.

Is the Home Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor Involved?

The National Youth Leadership Training is intended to strengthen the relationship between the youth leader and his Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor. 

  •  A pre-course meeting will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017 for Scouts, Venturers, parents and the youth’s Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor. We will review course expectations, equipment needed, the Scoutmaster’s/Crew Advisor’s role, and answer any questions. The location and time will be emailed to participant after registration.
  • The Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor is also requested to join the training course for a lunch feast at NYLT on Sunday, April 30, 2017, at noon at the Akelaland Dining Hall, to discuss with their youth leaders (during lunch) the NYLT experience and how it can help their unit and to support their youth leaders. A closing program and graduation follows lunch.
  • Each youth leader is expected to apply the skills learned in his/her home Unit. Each Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor is encouraged to learn what the youth have learned and support them as they put into practice the leadership skills.

What’s the Location?

The course will be held at Akelaland in the Trexler Scout Reservation, Jonas, PA.

Who Directs the training?

The Scoutmasters for the two training Troops are James Dailey and Eily Leicht. They are experienced Scout Leaders who are Wood Badge trained. They are building a staff of outstanding Minsi Trails Council youth and adult leaders.
