No Registration Needed

NYLT 2026

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is a 6-day training course that provides youth leaders with an opportunity to enhance their leadership skills while living the Scout Oath, Scout Law, and Venturing Oath in an exciting outdoor environment. Scouts who complete the NYLT course are prepared to meet the challenges ahead and are better prepared to work with adult leaders.

The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he/she must KNOW, and what he/she must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the course as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

All participants must attend all three sessions of this training to participate.
