NYLT 2024 Announcement

Date: May 22, 2024

The currently scheduled NYLT for Mount Baker is scheduled for June 24-29.  This unfortunately conflicts with school and possibly finals for many Scouts in several school districts.  Mount Baker also currently doesn't have enough people to run this program, and it is at risk of canceling.  They are hoping that a few more Scouts will sign up in the next few weeks.

NYLT is an exciting, action packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home Troops and Venturing Crews. The leadership skills taught can be used in any other situation demanding leadership of “self” and “others.” This process begins with a “vision” of what success will look like in the future.

Scouting recognizes that Scoutmasters and Advisors have the primary responsibility for training their youth leaders. The purpose of NYLT is not to assume that role, but rather to support it.  NYLT features instruction in skills that can be used at home, at school, on the job, and, in particular, at the Scout unit level. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, along with audio-visual support, NYLT participants will work hard and play hard together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is a leadership training experience sponsored by the Chief Seattle Council and held annually at a council camp. The training is conducted by highly qualified youth staff under the supervision of adult advisors.

NYLT is like Wood Badge for youth.  It is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members with leadership skills and experiences they can use in their home units, personal lives, and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

The course models a month in the life of a unit. The training consists of six days of Scout activities culminating in an overnight outpost camp. It is an exciting combination of classroom and fun outdoor activities providing a challenging and rewarding learning experience. 

Participants cook meals and work in their teams throughout the course.  Teams are composed of diverse participants in order to promote individuals making new friends and learning about others.

NYLT is for Scouts, Venturers, Sea Scouts, and Explorers.  All courses are coed.  Scouts BSA participants will be placed in patrols of the same gender.
