Summer 2016 National Youth Leadership Training
Leadership is a key factor in the development of a Scout. One of the most valuable things Scouting offers a boy is the opportunity to be a leader and to develop his leadership skills. The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course provides an exceptional opportunity to do just that.
NYLT is an intensive six day training experience for Senior Patrol Leaders, Assistant Senior Patrol leaders, Patrol leaders, Crew leaders and other youth leaders as well as prospective Troop/Crew leaders. The course uses a systematic approach to teach contemporary leadership skills, with an emphasis on both theory and practical application in a Scouting context. For the Scout who desires to be a better and more effective leader NYLT is an unparalleled opportunity.
Date & Location: July 24-29 at Henson Scout Reservation in Rhodesdale, Maryland.
Camperships: In 2016, through the support of a generous donor, Del-Mar-Va Council is able to offer NYLT Camperships on the following basis:
- For every full paying Scout a Troop registers we will fund another Scout to attend this NYLT course. There is a limit of 2 free Scouts per Troop.
- For every Troop who has never sent anyone to NYLT, they may send their Senior Patrol Leader to attend this NYLT course for free. This is in lieu of and not in addition to the above option.
For more information and to recieve these Camperships please contact Bill Whisler at rdyfox@comcast.net. If email is not possible you may call Bill at 302-994-0134. Camperships will only be available until June 11, 2016.
