NYLT: National Youth Leadership Training 2021

NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training) is advanced leadership training for youth troop, crew, and ship leaders. National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide young men and women members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and an experience they can use in their home troops, crew, or ships.   NYLT teaches lifelong leadership skills. The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader must DO.
