Requirements

Qualified participants must fulfill all four requirements:

  1. Your Troop's Senior Patrol Leader or a Scout with other Troop or Crew leadership experience and the skills and abilities to be Senior Patrol Leader or your Crew Officers in the future.
  2. At least 14 years old by September 1, 2012.
  3. Star Scout (First Class Scouts will be accepted if they have the physical and emotional maturity to benefit fully from the experience). Does not apply to Venturers.
  4. Actively supported by their Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor. A signed recommendation is required.
NYLT is a training program, designed to improve the Troop and Crew program. Troops and Crews may nominate as many leaders as they wish. Troops/Crews need to name the youth leader(s) who will attend at the time a nomination is made.

An equipment list will be sent to each participant. He should bring the same clothing and equipment he would take to summer camp, together with a completed medical form from a current physical exam. Each Scout will represent his home Troop and will wear its insignia. Full uniforms are needed.

The cost for the conference is $175.00 per Scout, which includes all food and training materials. A $75.00 deposit per Scout is required with the registration form to hold the reservation. The remaining fee is to be paid by April 2, 2012. If fees are not paid in full by April 2, 2012 the fee is $200.00. Troops and Crews are encouraged to pay at least part of the fee from their budgets.

No refunds after April 2, 2012. There will be no reservations accepted after this date. All Funds and Nomination forms MUST be submitted to the Council Registrar, Jane Chase, by email, mail or hand delivery in order to count meeting the deadline. Do NOT submit this information to the NYL T Coordinator or hand deliver to your district executive. ALL nomination forms and funds must be submitted directly to the Council office.

A pre-course meeting will be held on March 24, 2012 for Scouts, parents, and the Scout's Scoutmaster/Crew Advisor. We will review course expectations, equipment needed, the Scoutmaster's/Crew Advidor's role, and answer any questions. Final payments may be made at the meeting.
