To all my fellow NYLT staffers and Course Directors: we know how much work goes into running a great course.

Come trade ideas, solve problems, and get inspired with us at NYLT Power Up at Philmont! Great people, incredible location, and a chance to really make a difference in our home councils.

Let’s make our next courses the best ones yet for the youth! It's going to be a great week, it’s about recharging your own batteries and bringing that energy back to your Council’s youth.

Registration is open!

Did you know Scouting U has gone digital?

Fall Virtual CDC

The best way to prepare for leading NYLT is still attending an in-person Course Director Conference (CDC) in a nearby Territory. Nothing beats connecting face-to-face, building friendships, and learning shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow Scouters.

But what if travel or scheduling makes that impossible?
Scouting U has limited space to accommodate Scouters looking for a Virtual NYLT CDC.

Instead of one long day on Zoom, the virtual CDC is split into four focused sessions (7–9 PM EST on two consecutive Tuesdays and Thursdays). All sessions must be attended for credit.

Why this format works online:
Shorter, more engaging sessions.
Time between sessions to reflect and apply learning.

A blend of large-group instruction + small patrol-sized discussions led by experienced Scouters.
Interactive polls, quizzes, and real discussion—cameras on, participation expected!

If an in-person CDC isn’t possible, this is your chance to experience the next best thing. It is energizing, interactive, and built for online learning.

Dates: October 28, 30 & November 4, 6 from 7-9pm EST
Space is limited. Reserve your spot today.
