Per the last Committee Meeting, there will be a scholarship program sponsored by the troop for a few of our Scouts to attend this training. More information will be provided as soon as it is available.
Some additional details on the training from the BSA:
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.
As Committee Chair Colleen Chamberlain shared at the meeting, our troop’s direction is to be primarily Scout-led, and we are looking for leaders to step up and take the reins of the organization.
