ILST is the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops. This will be the first time offered at the district level, as usually troops do this on their own.

ILST is the basic youth leadership course – open to all troop members, highly recommended for the PLC (Patrol Leaders’ Council), and required as a pre-requisite in order to attend NYLT.

This is not a one-and-done training. Youth are encouraged to attend this training every time it is offered – especially after having attended NYLT – as they learn more each time, can provide better insights, and learn to work with their new PLC each session. ILST includes some large group instruction and a lot of troop-oriented breakouts and activities.

North Shore is providing this opportunity to help all troops: to ensure critical mass, to demonstrate the curriculum, to demonstrate a youth-led program, and to provide district camaraderie. This is primarily a scout-led training course and youth staff will be chosen from top NYLT scouts from North Shore. Several former NYLT course directors are supporting this opportunity.

Scouts: Attend with your PLC and learn the tools that will help you succeed in your vision. You must attend the entire training for maximum benefit and credit for the course.
Adults: bring your scouts to ILST and watch them succeed as they lead!

Located at Smilin V, August 27, 8:30AM to August 28, 10:30AM. Meals provided.
