National
Youth Leader Training Course (NYLT) New!
National
Youth Leadership Training Course (NYLT) Training of the youth leaders
in a troop is important in helping the individual Scout and the
troop grow. The Boy Scouts of America have developed a training
experience that has proven very valuable in the training of youth
leaders. It is called National Youth Leadership Training. Here in
the Longhorn Council we call it "Twin Arrows" and Scoutmasters
are invited to recommend Scouts to participate in an upcoming courses.
National Youth Leadership Training is a six day training course
that provides youth leaders with an opportunity to enhance their
leadership skills while living by the Scout Oath and Law in an exciting
outdoor environment. The purpose of Twin Arrows NYLT is to assist
the Scoutmaster in training youth leaders. NYLT is an exciting,
action-packed program designed 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 Twin Arrows Troop works as an ideal troop using the patrol method
and rotating leadership responsibility. Twin Arrows is not designed
to teach basic Scout skills. Scoutmasters can help us make this
training more effective by recommending Scouts who are prepared
for this special leadership training.
NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional
strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations,
challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants
will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give
them the skill and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range
of activities, games, and adventures, participants will work and
play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.
Participants must:
- Be a registered member of a BSA troop.
