NYLT
National Youth Leadership Training
The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is a leadership training program
for boy leaders developed by the Boy Scouts of America. It consists of a seven-day
outdoor practical phase and an application phase. NYLT is not another summer camp,
but an intense, challenging, leadership experience.
Scouting at its best!
Each year Troop 185 sends one or two scouts at the expense of the troop.
We as a troop are just five years old and have invested over $2000.00 in just our youth training alone.
This year we are sending our newly elected Senior Patrol Leader.

2010 BSA Patch
We are on LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP
Scouting has a proud tradition of producing great leaders.
Self-determination, teamwork, and preparedness are synonymous with Scouts everywhere.
For Scoutingís 1OOth Anniversary, letís celebrate this tradition of developing youth leaders.
The Year of Celebration Leadership Award encourages Scouts to explore and reflect upon the qualities of a good leader.
The award recipients will work on leadership skills.
The Leadership Award rewards participants for reflecting upon and sharing leadership
lessons and skills. Scouts earning this award will look to role models, lead groups,
and participate in leadership-building activities. Adults and alumni will build their
unit leadership skills by emphasizing membership growth, volunteering, and providing role models.
Complete three of the five requirements in each category to earn that award.
Boy Scouts
1. Identify someone from your Scouting experience you think is a good leader.
Ask them what makes them an effective leader and then talk to your parent or Scoutmaster
about what makes a good leader. Write 200 words on the leader you chose and share with your troop leader.
2. Teach a Scout a rank requirement and help them to a successful completion.
3. Serve in a troop or team leadership position for three months.
4. Serve as a youth staff member for a unit, district, or council event or camp.
5. Serve as a den chief for a Cub Scout or Webelos den for three months.
