Leadership Training

Posted

Troop 55 of Riverside is an amazing troop with excellent Scouts and growth every year. One of the things that keep us so active and involved is our Leadership Training. NYLT, National Youth Leadership Training, is an amazing program that teaches our Scouts how to be effective leaders. It runs at least twice a year for six day sessions. Many of our NYLT graduates have returned as staff in following years, carrying on the tradition and paying it forward as they use their skills to empower other youth leaders. This year we are thrilled to be sending five scouts to NYLT! This will really help our troop grow as the youth leaders develop their skills and create a thriving patrol and positive environment.

Training is not just for the Scouts. In order to guide our Scouts in the best possible way, the adults need to know how to lead and experience Scouting from a youth perspective. This year we sent five of our Adult Leaders to Wood Badge training. This program is essentially the adult version of NYLT and uses the same skills and methods to ensure that adults are effective in leading and empowering our Scouts.
