NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING​

NYLT Course 1 is FULL! All applicants after 5/18/2012 requesting Course 1 will be put on a wait list or asked to switch to another course.

National Youth Leadership Training is a weeklong training course that provides youth leaders with an opportunity to enhance their leadership skills while living by the Scout Oath and Law, in an exciting outdoor environment.  Scouts who earn the NYLT shield are prepared to meet the challenges ahead and are better prepared to work with adult leaders.
