 NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING (NYLT) - June 17-23, 2012 - BSA Adventure Camp - Rochelle
Thunderbird National Youth Leader Training, is a seven day outdoor training conference for youth leaders, which supports the Scoutmaster's or Crew Advisor's responsibility for training junior leaders. It is conducted by the Council Training Committee using a syllabus that was developed by the Boy Scouts of America. Leadership requires vision, goals and planning. Through presentations and positive experiences in goal setting, planning and problem solving, participants learn how to set a clear course toward realizing their team and individual visions, and then begin to put themselves in the center of those pictures of future success. WHO MAY ATTEND? Participants must be registered Scouts in a Troop Team or Crew, 13 years old by January 1, 2012, be First Class rank or higher (For Members of Troops or Teams), serve in a leadership position, and have long term camping experience.

What is NAYLE? National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE) is an exciting program where young men and women enhance their leadership skills. In 2012, six sessions will be held at Philmont Scout Ranch, and three sessions will be held on the regional level. Youth will expand upon the team building
and ethical decision making skills learned in National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT). NAYLE emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and selfless service using the core elements of NYLT to make these skills intuitive.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT? NAYLE is a very special experience. You will camp in a team setting that enables participants to use their leadership skills to resolve challenging situations. The week concludes with a closing challenge for each Scout to use what they’ve learned in service to others.

program of this type.
