At Camp Chief Little Turtle
National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) has two goals:
Build a great leader and develop lasting connections outside your troop circle.
This is a fun, fast-paced week long training in a camp setting that will cover every aspect of Scout leadership.
No Scout should miss this opportunity to build these life skills as they start taking on roles in their troop.
As soon as a youth achieves First Class and 14 years old or is a member of Ventures or Sea Scouts, sign them up!
Train them to be ready to lead with confidence!
Prerequisite: Introduction to Leadership Skills Training (ILST)
