NYLT - Course 3

Camp Lazarus

August 9-11 & August 23-25    

Scouts must be 13 years of age or older and at least 1st Class to participate!

The Simon Kenton Council is offering three sessions of the National Youth Leadership Training. Each course will instruct the participants in advanced leadership skills based on the National BSA Syllabus, and The Youth Leadership Training Continuum.

NYLT is a 6-day experience based on the activities of a typical unit during a month of program. The course is a combination of classroom and practical exercises, all taught by a youth-led staff, modeling the best in leadership skills, using the teaching E.D.G.E.

The course is about vision based team building with a wide variety of fun and challenging activities.

The experience provides an opportunity for the participant to meet and develop teams from Crews, Troops and Ships from all over the Council's diverse membership. This experience should model those times in scouting, school and future activities where it is required to form working teams from complete strangers, and accomplish leadership training activities, having fun while making permanent friends.               

NYLT Course 3 is held over 2 weekends in August at Camp Lazarus.  

Each course can accommodate up to 48 youth.

To ensure the best experience, a maximum of 8 participants from one Unit is suggested.

THE EXPERIENCE AT NYLT WILL PROVIDE THE PARTICIPANTS WITH SKILLS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE NOT ONLY THEIR SCOUTING LEADERSHIP POSITIONS MORE EFFECTIVE, BUT FUTURE POSITIONS OR OFFICES THEY MAY HOLD IN ANY TEAM ENVIRONMENT FOR SCHOOL OR PROFESSIONAL CAREERS.

Find out what it means to BE, to KNOW, and to DO leadership skills for life!
