What is NYLT?

National Youth Leadership Training or NYLT, sponsored by the Longs Peak Council, is a weeklong leadership training course that follows an outline developed by the Boy Scouts of America. Content is delivered in a unit and team outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon and aided by the use of memory skills, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.

Participants are sorted into teams with 6 to 8 scouts from different troops within our council. A youth staff member is assigned to each team as a Team Guide to assist and guide the participants through this learning process. The unit setting allows the scouts to practice their recently learned leadership skills in a practical, realistic environment.
