A huge thank you to our staff and patrols for making the Heart of Virginia Council's 2026 NYLT Course one to remember!

It's been a week since we last wrapped up our leadership development training, and we miss it already. Be on the lookout regarding our 2027 course and its dates - until then, we'll see you next year!

With the closing of the Heart of Virginia Council's 2026 NYLT course comes our course graduation!

Thank you to each and every one of our patrols for such a fantastic couple of weekends. We hope that you will be able to take what you've learned and apply it throughout your scouting and daily life.

Congratulations once again to each and every one of our graduates. We look forward to seeing you continue to grow as communicators and young leaders!

Day 6 of our Fall NYLT Course was a great success!

As we prepared for our outpost journey later that evening, patrols worked together through different geocaching activities and various patrol games.

We learned the importance of Diversity and Valuing others within our teams, how to properly Resolve Conflicts with one another, and the importance of remaining Resilient.

With Weekend 2 done, here's a small piece of Day 5 of our NYLT Course!

This past Friday was spent getting back into the swing of things and remembering our calling as leaders.

We heavily focused on discussing our use of Storytelling as speakers, as well as the use of Ethics & Values in our decision-making processes.

It has now been a week since we last wrapped up Weekend 1 for the Heart of Virginia Council's Fall NYLT course!

As we look back on the first half of our course, think about the experiences you've had, the people you've met, and the skills you've developed - and how those can better your units moving forward.

This weekend was all about YOU, the Scouts, and how you can better your individual leadership and communication skills. Our 2nd weekend, however, will be all about your patrol and how each of you will work together to be the best team you can be!

Remember to keep that in mind, and we'll see you all this FRIDAY for the start of Weekend 2/2!!!

(A little late) But Day 4 of NYLT and our weekend 1 have come to a close!

We spent our final day of this weekend working on understanding what it means to be a Servant Leader and how to properly Lead Yourself to better guide others in your home units.

We'll see you in 2 weeks!!!

Day 3 of our Fall, National Youth Leadership Training course, is now in the books!

Yesterday, we learned about Developing our Team and enhancing our Solving Problems skills. We also hosted several games and activities where patrols worked with one another to practice these Leadership and Communication skills!

Day 2 of our NYLT was a great success!

Throughout the day, patrols were able to experience the Model Troop format and the best way to run their home unit's program. We learned about Planning and Setting our Goals and how to better our young leaders for leading their Troops, Crews, and Ships.

Yesterday was our opening to this year's NYLT Course!

With the conclusion of Day 1, we've had the opportunity to develop our patrols and understand what Communication and Leadership means to Scouting and our home units.
