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

Fall 2012 Wood Badge course dates are Friday through Sunday, Oct 12-14 and Nov 9-11, 2012. The course is six full days and attendance throughout both weekends is required to complete the course. Arrival is at 7:00 AM both Fridays. The course ends at approximately 5:45 PM the first Sunday and 3:30 PM the second Sunday. There are 1-2 interim patrol meetings between the two weekends with dates and locations set by individual patrols. Wood Badge is a comprehensive training course started by Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, to help leaders hone their skills, extend their understanding of the youth they lead and the adults with whom they work, and to reach new levels of personal growth and learning as Scouters. Wood Badge provides advanced training in leadership and teamwork for adult leaders in all Scouting programs. The course is also a whole lot of fun where you can develop deep friendships with fellow leaders. Wood Badge is the ultimate personal and professional growth training program offered by the Boy Scouts of America; it is a national course curriculum delivered locally by Capitol Area Council volunteer staff. Wood Badge is about enhancing your leadership skills through hands-on experience, to help you take those skills back to your unit or District and put them to work to develop effective leaders and youth where you serve. The instructional portion of the course consists of the two weekends at Lost Pines, followed by an 18-month application phase in which each participant completes what is known as their "ticket", a series of personal goals developed during the course. To be eligible for Wood Badge a participant must have completed Fast Start, This is Scouting (or New Leader Essentials), and the Leader Specific Training course for their current position in Scouting (example: Scoutmaster/Asst. Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training). Scoutmasters/Asst. Scoutmasters and Varsity Coaches/Asst. Coaches need to also have taken the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills training for their position; all other leaders are encouraged to take this outdoor training as well. This training must be completed prior to the course. For more information contact Course Director Craig Dalton at craix@mac.com or 512.423.8460 (cell).
