Boy Scouts have many opportunities to learn leadership skills. They can assist Cub Scout den leaders as Den Chiefs and learn how to lead younger children. National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is a seven-day summer camp experience that teaches leadership, communication and other skills.
DEN CHIEF TRAINING
A Den Chief is a Boy Scout who assists a Cub Scout Den Leader or
Webelos Scout Den Leader at den meetings, pack meetings, and other
events. He's a ready source of games, songs, skits, and skills, and he
encourages the boys in their advancement.
The next opportunity will be on February 25, 2012. For more information, please visit Den Chief Conference page.
NYLT
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.

LEAVE NO TRACE
Instilling values in young people and preparing them to make moral and ethical choices throughout their lifetime is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America. Leave No Trace helps reinforce that mission, and reminds us to respect the rights of other users of the outdoors as well as future generations. Appreciation for our natural environment and a knowledge of the interrelationships of nature bolster our respect and reverence toward the environment and nature.
