National Youth Leadership Training

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is the premier youth leadership program offered by Hawk Mountain Council. NYLT is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and crews, and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

About the Course

The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader 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.

NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.

Course Specifics

Hawk Mountain Council’s NYLT course will be held August 7-12, 2022 at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation. Attendance and participation at for all 6-days is mandatory.

The fee for the course is $325.00 ($295.00 if paid by April 30, 2022) and includes all lodging, meals, and course materials. $100.00 will be due at the time of registration.

  • Venturing participants must be 14, or 13 and have completed the 8th grade.

COVID-19 Update and SAFE Checklist

Every member, volunteer and family must evaluate their unique circumstances and make an informed decision before attending this in-person activity.

We will continue to monitor guidance from Hawk Mountain Council, BSA, CDC, ACA, and local and state authorities on preventing COVID-19 exposure. Information continues to change, and we want to have a fluid plan until the course begins.
