For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping boys and girls grow to their full potential.

Scouting helps youth:

  • gain self-confidence
  • develop academic skills
  • learn ethics
  • be more honest
  • develop leadership skills
  • learn how to become active citizens
  • experience the outdoors
  • become stronger team players
  • improve ability to work with others
  • have a better understanding and sympathize with those less fortunate

TESTIMONIALS

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)

You really will remember NYLT for the rest of your life. I remember learning so much about how to work in groups. Afterwards, I was able to apply my leadership skills and start a successful Venturing Crew. The people you will meet are amazing. My best friends in college are people I met at this course!

NYLT changed the way I approach any public speaking! I left feeling so much more confident and had so much fun on the way! You can ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you that I can’t stop bringing up NYLT and everything I’ve gotten out of this amazing program!

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)

NYLT is one of the funnest and most useful programs I have ever participated in! I’ve used the communicating knowledge in multiple dual enrollment classes, and even more than that, I’ve made more fun memories than I can count! I found one of my best friends at NYLT, and I recommend the program to everyone!

Merit Badge Courses

Thank you so much! I also want to say how amazing the merit badge courses through your council have been! My daughter really enjoyed every class she has taken. It really has been a joy to see her grow and learn with the experts that have been teaching her during this difficult time. I appreciate everyone that Has played a role in making this program happen. It has inspired me to help our council build a better virtual merit badge program. You are all doing a wonderfully job, thank you so much!
