As announced previously (on 2/11, and 2/20), the Moraine Trails Council is hosting the National Youth Leadership Training, also known as “Silver Wolf,” in June.
Troop 743 is offering an opportunity to for one of our eligible Scouts to attend with a Scholarship of up to 50% of the cost of the training (see this post for the costs).
If interested, please review the following information, and then send an email to PATroop743@Gmail.com requesting a scholarship application to be turned in to Mr. Moon or Mrs. Chamberlain by March 15.
Terms and Eligibility:
Troop 743 will provide a 50% scholarship for Scouts interested in attending National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), otherwise known as "Silver Wolf' training.

1. Must be an active Scout in Troop 743, First Class rank or above, for the six
   months prior to NYLT training
