Join us April 26-28 and May 3-5, 2024, for National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) at Camp Hood! Scouts who participate in NYLT will learn and develop advanced leadership skills that will be transformational for them, their unit, and our community. These leadership skills will last a lifetime and give participants an advantage in their personal, educational, and professional lives.
