Green Bar–National Youth Leadership Training will bring new skills and greater enthusiasm to youth leadership. Scouting recognizes that Scoutmasters have the primary responsibility for training their youth leaders. The purpose of NYLT is not to assume that role, but rather to support it. This week-long course features instruction in skills that can be used at home, at school, on the job, and, in particular, at the Scout unit level. Through activities, events, games, and adventures, Green Bar–NYLT participants will work hard and play hard together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.
Troop 994 has a unique program where selected applicants recieve a scholarship to cover half the cost of the tuition.
