NATIONAL
YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING
(formally
called Junior Leader Training Camp)
The NEGA Council is conducting its very successful
NYLT Conference in 2006 at Scoutland. This is a week-long
training camp for current and future youth leaders in your
Boy Scout Troop. Complete information will be sent to each
Scoutmaster in late February. Space is limited.
The National Youth Leadership Training conference is a week-long experience
conducted by the local council to give junior leaders a meaningful experience
in Scouting that will enhance their knowledge and create a deeper understanding
of their roles and responsibilities as leaders. Its goal is simple: to
offer the participants the leadership and scouting skills necessary to
be effective leaders in their troops, while helping them experience the
fun and challenge of scouting at its best. We must always remember that
the training of junior leaders is the responsibility of the Scoutmaster.
This conference is designed to support, not replace, the Scoutmaster’s
role in the training process. Each Scout who attends will do so as a representative
of his home troop and will wear the uniform and the insignia of his home
troop. The conference is designed to strengthen the relationship between
the scout and his scoutmaster. Participants must be nominated by their
Scoutmaster, and Scoutmaster or assistant Scoutmaster are encouraged to
attend the pre-course meeting. In addition, a special session is held for
Scoutmasters after the end of the course.
|
To the boy scouts who attend, the training
is "Fun", "Challenging", "Adventure", "Camping", "Excitement", "Learning
Leadership", "Making New Friends", and "Gaining New Skills". In addition,
as leaders, we are concerned with all the elements that keep our Troops
and Patrols strong. That’s why the conference teaches its Leadership
and Scouting skills within a model troop setting focusing on the patrol
method.
Scoutcraft & Outdoor Skills
Participating junior leaders will learn advanced pioneering, creative ecology,
specialty cooking, and many other outdoor skills. You will get to go on an
overnight backpacking trip. Plus, you will learn how to make these things happen
back home in your troop.
Meetings & Activities
Your youth leaders will see and participate in model troop, patrol, and patrol
leader council meetings. The Scouts will learn how to use games and contests
to make Scouting more fun. They will learn new skills, songs, and ways to make
their troop and patrol campfires sparkle. They’ll see how to make Scouting
an adventure at every meeting and campout.
Scouting at it's Best
During the course, the scouts work, play and learn as part of a patrol in a
model troop. Each patrol is assigned a trained youth staff member who will
work with them. The conference creates the opportunities for your junior leaders
to share ideas with other youth from all over the council. They will share
what is neat about their troops and patrols, learn how others do things, and
get new ideas. While a lot of fun, the NYLT is a highly structured training
experience, which precludes participation in individual rank advancement, merit
badge work, and the regular summer camp program. A variety of other challenging
and exciting activities are included in the course. Also to gain the greatest
exposure to new ideas and methods, Scouts from the same troop will be put into
different patrols for the conference.

Junior
Leader Orientation Workshop
All scouts are invited to attend the workshop. This will be especially
valuable for new scouts and boys who are in a leadership position for
the first time. However, older scouts may also find the event to be rewarding.
Scouts completing the course are entitled to wear the "Trained" patch.
Natural-born leaders are rare. The rest of us can learn to be leaders
and training can help. The more practice you get the better you can be.
Scouting is a time to practice.

National
Advanced Youth Leadership Experience
The new
National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE) is an exciting
new program where young men enhance their leadership skills in the
Philmont Backcountry.
Scouts will expand upon the team building and
ethical decision making skills learned in National Youth Leadership
Training (NYLT). NAYLE uses elements of the Philmont Ranger Training
as well as advanced Search and Rescue skills to teach leadership, teamwork
and the lessons of selfless service.
NAYLE will offer Scouts an unforgettable
backcountry wilderness experience where they live leadership and teamwork,
using the core elements of NYLT to make their leadership skills intuitive.
