WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF NYLT?

The aims of NYLT are to give each participant a basic knowledge of various leadership skills while helping them relate these skills to their own troop/crew responsibilities; to give them the confidence and knowledge necessary to run their troop/crew program; to provide an opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts/Venturers from other troops/crews; and of course, to have FUN.

Also to be eligible to attend, they must be at least First Class in rank and thirteen years of age by January 1, or a registered member of a Venturing Crew.
