2013 NYLT Update
Scoutmasters, Crew Advisors and Committee Chairs,
- Please join us for the National Youth Leadership Training Kick-off and Information Session on April 6th at 9:00AM, at Wheaton Franciscan Hospital, 10101 S. 27th Street, Franklin, WI.
- We will be taking registrations for the single course being offered this year running form June 15-21 at Camp OhDaKoTa in Burlington, WI.
NYLT is an intense week-long, youth-oriented leadership training experience. Highly qualified youth staff, under the supervision of adult advisers, will teach participants the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader must DO. Participants will learn and practice valuable leadership skills they can use in Scouting and beyond.

Council Recognition Dinner
Very sorry for the extremely late notice… Reservations are due Friday March 15th, 2013!
Please join me in congratulating fellow Scouter, and soon to be Silver Beaver recipient Ken Penge! Ken is one of a very select few honored with this award for the tons of selfless dedication he has put in not at the unit or district level, but his contributions to making our Council a better program for all kids.
It would be a great show of support for those in Fox River District to join Ken at the Council Recognition Dinner celebrating his contributions on Tuesday March 26th.
Additionally there are awards for all of the young men in the 2012 Eagle Scout Class (the 100th anniversary!), the Venturing Leader Award, and the Life Saving & Meritorious Action Awards. Truly outstanding company to be honored with!

Lambeau Field Scout Day
How can you possibly resist the call of the Frozen Tundra? Sure – Football season may still be MONTHS away, but there is a hole in you that just needs to be filled NOW!
Get special BEHIND THE SCENES access for all Scouts to see the Visiting Team Locker Room, the Press Box, a Gameday Suite, run up the Players’ Tunnel and tour the Green Bay Packer’s Hall of Fame! Heck, my buddy Casey Ausloos will even throw a couple of brats on the grill for you if you’d like! Oh yeah! ‘Cause he’s really cool like that!
Make plans now to head North my friends – April 14th is the date. You’re not going to want to miss this!
Want an even more private and intimate tour? Your Pack, Troop or Crew can sleep overnight in the Hall of Fame. Just ask Casey for details!

NYLT
This summer, join in the fun of National Youth Leadership Training at Camp OhDaKoTa in Burlington! This year’s course will be from June 15th to 21st, and you can STILL make the early bird pricing before May 19th!
Built on the long legacy of past Junior Leader Training success, the National Youth Leadership Training course integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience.
Through a wide range of activities, games, and adventures, NYLT participants will work and play together as they put into action the best that Scouting and Venturing have to offer. The course is set up to represent an activity cycle in the life of a typical Scouting unit.
Participants will be guided through the planning stages—learning to conduct lively, relevant unit meetings—as they prepare for an actual camping trip at the end of the week. Their planning culminates with the NYLT Outpost Camp, where participants put their leadership skills to the test.
Using the team method, participants will undergo a “Quest for the Meaning of Leadership,” utilizing a “Toolbox of Skills” given to them throughout the week. Participants will learn—through both class-like presentations and hands-on activities—about various leadership topics, such as the Leading EDGE, Conflict Resolution, Valuing People, and Communicating Well.
