NYLT

Next week eight of our scouts will be attending National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) at Camp Greilick. Two of those scouts are past Senior Patrol Leaders attending as counselors and the other six scouts are our future leaders who are eager to learn.

The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

Our troop has been successfully led by scouts who have put the lessons they learned at NYLT into action. This is an important campout to instill leadership skills into the hearts and minds of the boys who will lead the troop in the future.  I am very proud our scouts for all their hard work in contributing to the success of our troop. Please join me in encouraging the scouts who are attending to pay attention, open their hearts and enjoy their week at NYLT. Good luck Kellen, Garrett, Ethan, Nathan, Dominique, Frankie, and the two counselors Andrew and Austin. Troop 1 is proud.
