Some opportunities in Scouting don’t just fill up—they define a Scout’s future. National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is one of them.
This 6-day immersive leadership course is designed to help Scouts grow into confident, capable leaders—not just in their troop, but in school, career, and life. Through a mix of classroom learning and hands-on outdoor challenges, Scouts develop real-world skills like communication, team leadership, and decision-making .
The 2026 course will take place June 15–20 at the Irvine Ranch Outdoor Education Center, offering a focused, high-energy environment where Scouts learn by doing and apply leadership in real time .
This is not just another camp. NYLT culminates in a Leadership Challenge, where participants put everything they’ve learned into action—building confidence and proving to themselves what they’re capable of .
For parents, this is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your Scout’s growth. For unit leaders, it’s one of the best ways to strengthen your troop—sending Scouts who return more engaged, more capable, and ready to lead.
Spots are limited, and NYLT consistently reaches capacity. Waiting too long can mean missing out on one of the most impactful experiences Scouting offers.
Encourage your Scouts to register now and take the next step in their leadership journey.
