National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting and powerful program designed to provide members of the Boy Scouts of America (ages 13 and over) with leadership skills and experience they can use to lead themselves and others.

We offer 4 individual Summer sessions, along with a fifth course which takes place over two weekends in the fall. The NYLT course centers on the concepts of what a leader must BE, KNOW, and DO.

It has been said that “Every youth deserves a trained leader”.

Position Specific Training is a course required for registered leaders of all Scouting programs levels (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA & Venturing) to earn their “Trained” status. The Position Specific Training program is tailored to the specific position that the leader holds. It provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role.

Position Specific Training is available online at the BSA Learn Center through my.scouting.org.

I invite you to ask me about Wood Badge and attend our course this September!

I am excited and honored to be the Senior Patrol Leader for Wood Badge course C6-438-21 in the Dan Beard Council.

This training program has 5 central themes and classes cover hot topics like Listening to Learn/Learn to Listen, Managing Conflict, as well as Scouting skills like Leave No Trace, Campfire Planning, and much more!

The tools and skills, not to mention the social connections, you’ll develop over course will be invaluable to you, not only in Scouting, but in your career, and in your life!!!!!

I would love to see you there!!!!

District committee training has been taught the same way for many years with a very dated course. By leveraging the BSA Learn Center, we can give the district committee a learning environment that provides them the content they need when they need it, and we can leverage professional training for consistency in district training. This new learning replaces the District Committee Workshop and will provide learning plans aligned with the various district committee positions and functions.

Position-trained status (D61, D62, D75) will be provided for those who complete their training.
