Training for Scouts: NYLT 2024

Posted by fsaenz on Jun 13 2024 - 1:40pm
THE COURSE: National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed six-day council-level program designed to provide Scouts in troops, crews, and ships with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and other situations demanding leadership of self and others. The course is designed for Scouts BSA members who are at least 13 years old; are First Class rank or above; and have successfully completed ILST training.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AND LEARN AT NYLT: NYLT: is filled with activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and camping in a team and model unit environment. Participants learn and practice skills that are valuable at home, church, school, work, and the Scouting unit. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ leadership skills much faster. These skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

THE RESULTS: First of all, you will have a lot of fun at NYLT! Activities are built around the idea that Scouting is “a game with a purpose.” You will meet new friends that share your interest in Scouting and in becoming a stronger leader. Participants report that NYLT helped them develop better communication skills, greater ability to coordinate activities and program, increased understanding of the roles and skills of a leader, and many more.

Is Your YPT Current?

Posted by fsaenz on Jun 13 2024 - 11:33am

The Troop needs all registered adults whose YPT is expired, or is about to expire, to renew it to be eligible for recharter.

YPT is the most elemental of BSA trainings for all adults, registered and non-registered, must complete in order to participate in any Scouting activity.  YPT is necessary to maintain our Troop status and it's required for all adults that participate in Scouting activities.  Adults with missing or expired YPT are not allowed to attend campouts or any event involving Scouts.

You can take the course online at My.Scouting.org and should only take a little over an hour. Send your completed certificate to training@troop845.org.

Are you a Merit Badge Counselor?

Posted by fsaenz on Jun 13 2024 - 11:32am
    
  
A merit badge counselor is one of the coolest jobs in Scouting. These volunteers introduce Scouts to a topic about which they are passionate and knowledgeable of.  At the very least, a MB badge counselor helps a young person earn a merit badge and get one step closer to the next rank; and at the most, a MB counselor introduces a young person to a subject that could become a lifelong hobby or career.  
New rules introduced this year require MB counselors to:
Even if you were previously signed-up as a MB counselor, you must complete the above to continue working with the Scouts.  If you are interested, please complete the above forms and send them to Devin Fernandes or Phillip Denney via email; or drop them off at this Sunday’s meeting.  Want to know more?  Here’s some further reading about MB counseling. Want to know even more? Please reach out to our MB Coordinator Anthony Curran for more information.
