Dear Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor:

The Narragansett Council extends an invitation for you to send outstanding scout leaders from your unit to attend National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT).

NYLT now serves 48 participants in each of the two courses.  The courses are also open to all Venture Crew Youth Leaders (female and male) as well as Boy Scout Troop Youth Leaders.  The courses will be led by a Senior Patrol Leader and team of trained youth staffers who are themselves graduates of the program. The youth staff is guided by Course Directors and the program is supported by a team of trained adults, providing for health and safety as necessary.

NYLT is designed to provide your scout with a virtual “tool box” of leadership skills and knowledge to confidently return to your home unit and effectively run a youth-led program. Following a national syllabus, participants will be organized into teams and be involved in team-building exercises demonstrated and modeled by the youth staff in both classroom and outdoor learning centers. By working within teams and interacting with participants from other units, they will be able to immediately begin to practice the new skills they learn during the course. Upon completion of the course, they will return to your unit with goals that they have developed to improve your program.

To attend NYLT:

-A Boy Scout youth leader must be at least 13 years of age by May 1st of the course year, at least First Class, and currently filling a leadership position in the troop or likely to assume a leadership position soon. No exceptions can be made to the age and rank requirements. (Experience has proven that scouts under the age of 13 do not have the maturity to get the full potential from the course, and that 14-17 year old scouts are the ideal age group).  

-A Venturer must have completed their Crew’s Introduction to Leadership Skills course and have the recommendation of their Crew Advisor. It is recommended that Venturers attending NYLT should be between 14 and 17 (Venturers 18 and over should attend Wood Badge).  A Venturer should be no older than 17 on the last day of the course.

Each unit may submit a maximum of 2 youths to attend. Two additional youths can be registered on a “Waiting List” in the event that space opens for the two courses.  Registration is first come first serve, so please register early.  Please note that you are registering specific youth and not ‘reserving slots’ in the course. In the event a registered youth cannot attend, there will be no substitutions permitted.

After completing the online registration, please print out and complete the following forms (most are found on the left menu): registration receipt, signed code of conduct, and the new completed Annual Health and Medical Record signed by a physician. All registered participants, including wait list scouts, are required to bring these forms with them to the mandatory pre-course Orientation on:

In closing, as a unit leader committed to guiding a program led by your youth leaders, you have a unique opportunity to invest in your unit by inviting two of your outstanding youth to participate in this nationally accredited BSA Youth Leadership program. So don’t delay – get them registered right away! We look forward to meeting you in June and working with the scouts from your unit!

Yours in Scouting,
