National Youth
Leader Training
South Plains Council

National Youth Leadership Training (NTLT) is a youth leadership development training program designed so that Scouts will learn leadership skills that can be used within Scouting and everyday life.

The NYLT program is to be conducted in a one week program, but can be split over two weekends. Most NYLT courses are conducted at council-level camps, primarily because these camps are established, have proper facilities for a week long course. Courses range in size from 40 to 180 Scouts, generally forming one to four troops, with six to nine patrols in each. The content learned at any NYLT course is outlined in a national-level syllabus, however each council's NYLT may have small variations in the material taught, and may add in other events or special activities not required in the NYLT outline.
