"This is Scouting" replaces New Leader Essentials as a required course for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing volunteers to earn the "Trained" leader emblem. Councils should eliminate New Leader Essentials from all training calendars and add a link to http://MySouting.org
National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed
program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership
skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other
situations demanding leadership of self and others. 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.
