NYLT is an action-packed, 6-day training designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experiences that they can use in their Troops, Crews, Ships, and any other situations demanding quality leadership.

NYLT is a combination of classroom and practical “Hands-on” exercises. Participants implement the leadership skills they learn using various activities, games, presentations, challenges, discussions, and adventures.
