Wood Badge Great Rivers Council

Did you like Wood Badge? Your youth might like NYLT! Join us July 21st - July 26th, 2025 at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation for National Youth Leadership Training, Scouting's premiere youth leadership training!
NYLT is a six-day course. Activities and training are delivered by youth staff in an outdoor setting with an emphasis on fun and immediate application. The course is modeled as a "month in the life of a troop/crew". Scouts and Venturers will experience patrol and unit leadership throughout the week.
They will learn skills and concepts that are based on the very best of modern leadership theory and practices. Taught in innovative ways, these skills include communication, goal planning, vision setting, and conflict resolution. The skills learned can be applied at home, school, troop activities and for life. By the end of the course, participants will be better individuals, scouts, and leaders.
