Blue Grass Council National Youth Leadership Training

Blue Grass Council National Youth Leadership Training Want to learn how to lead? Come to the Blue Grass Council's NYLT course! It's open to youth in bot NYLT is open to both male and female youth!

NYLT is a weekend course dedicated to teaching up-and-coming youth leaders the skills they need to run their troop or crew. During the course, participants will learn from some of the best leadership instructors in the council, practice their Scouting skills, go on an Outpost experience, and make lots of new friends! Participants will be placed in a patrol with 4-7 others, who will go through the

course together. There are usually 6-8 patrols, each supported by a youth staff Troop Guide. The staff is composed of talented youth and adults, many of whom also serve in key leadership positions with the Order of the Arrow lodge and the council Venturing Officers' Association. Most patrols operate as a Boy Scout patrol would, but at least one patrol is designated as a crew, and operates like a Venturing crew. Participants in both types of patrol have the chance to serve as Patrol Leader/Crew President at least once during the week, allowing them to gain hands-on experience leading during the course.
