What Is NYLT?
National Youth Leadership Training is a six-day outdoor experience for Scout BSA Troop and Venture Crew youth leaders. It is the next step in the BSA training continuum after Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops/Crews (ILST/ILSC). NYLT teaches Scouts more about leadership through training sessions, group activities, and personal challenges in a fun and energized environment. Scouts will learn to apply leadership skills in real-world situations to help their patrols achieve success.
