Benefits

How will sending your youth leaders to NYLT benefit your troop or crew? Here are just a few of the ways.

1. Your youth leaders will learn skills that will help them take ownership of their leadership roles and effectively run the troop or crew — so you don’t have to.

2. They’ll come home excited about Scouting and ready to lead, and this enthusiasm can easily spread to the other members of your unit.

3. Since NYLT and Wood Badge share the same vocabulary, you’ll both be able to communicate in the same terms. (If you haven’t taken Wood Badge yet, it’s totally worth it.)

4. Your youth leaders will make friends from across the council, discover new ideas, and learn about innovations that can help improve your unit.

These are just a few of the ways in which NYLT can help your Scouts or Venturers! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at nylt@bgbsa.org!
