A New Vision of Youth Leadership
National
Youth Leadership Training will bring new skills and greater enthusiasm
to your youth leadership. Scouting recognizes that Unit Leaders
have the primary responsibility for training their youth leaders. The
purpose of NYLT is not to assume that role, but rather to support it.
This week-long course features instruction in skills that can be used
at home, at school, on the job, and, in particular, at the Scout unit
level. Through activities, events, games, and adventures, NYLT
participants will work hard and play hard together as they put into
action the best Scouting has to offer.
Course Vision
The
AAC National Youth Leadership Training course will provide each scout
participant an experience where they can learn to Be, Know and Do the
highest ideals of scouting leadership.
Course Goals
Give participants the confidence and knowledge to conduct the unit program.
Provide
participants with a clear understanding of team and personal
development and how those elements relate to being a leader.
Guide the participants through the stages of team development.
Create an environment of Scouting fellowship and fun guided by the Scout Oath and Law.
Give participants the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts from other units.

This curriculum aligns the youth leadership training with the adult training in Wood Badge for the 21st Century.
