National Youth Leader Training (NYLT)

Home › Training › National Youth Leader Training (NYLT)

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed for NNJC to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

NYLT is a six-day course where content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skill and confidence to lead well. Participants will work and play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.
