What is the Conference?
The National Youth Leadership Training Conference (NYLT) is a one week outdoor experience for youth leaders. It is conducted by a qualified staff of adult and youth leaders in the Capitol Area Council using a syllabus published by the Boy Scouts of America. Purpose:
The training of youth leaders in the unit is important in helping the individual and the unit grow. The conference will stress the skills of leadership that will make youth leaders more effective in their unit leadership positions. Scouting recognizes that unit adult leaders have the responsibility of training their own youth leaders. The purpose of the NYLT Conference is not to assume the Scoutmaster's, Advisor's, or Coach's role, but to support it. The conference objectives are:
* To enhance the relationship between the participant and his/her adult leaders,* To give participants a basic knowledge of the skills of leadership and help them relate these skills to their unit responsibilities, * To give participants the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts and Venturers from other units, * To give participants the confidence and knowledge to run the unit program, * To create an atmosphere where Scouts and Venturers will experience Scouting at its best, * To have fun
