National Youth Leadership Training
New format for 2010: Two Weekend Course
June 25-28 and July 9-11, 2010
This year NYLT will be conducted over two weekends (as opposed to a week-long course previously). NYLT is an outdoor experience for current and future leaders in support of the Scoutmaster’s responsibility for the training of his Youth Leaders. The conference utilizes the standard troop structure using the patrol method. Patrol leadership changes daily to give all Scouts a chance to be a Patrol Leader or Assistant. The participants will write their own Vision Statements in which they will plan how to use their newly acquired skills in their home troops. The Conference has been developed by the National Council BSA. The conference is the highest leadership training offered to Youth Leaders at the Council level.
Who may attend?
Participants may be any current or future leader in any Scouting position. Also to be eligible attend they must be at least First Class in rank and thirteen years old by the start of the course. Each Scout must also have a working knowledge of camping, hiking and cooking over an open fire in all weather conditions and have the written approval of his Scoutmaster. Enrollment is limited to 48 qualified participants.
What is the cost of the course?
The total cost for NYLT is $210, which covers course materials, T-Shirt, hat and food for the course. A fee of $75 is required with the application form and the remaining $135 is due no later than June 11th. You are encouraged to sign up early to hold your slot.

A Year of Celebration Award
Scouts can earn the "Year of Celebration" patch and related ribbons between September 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010.
For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will demonstrate the incredible impact of a century of living the Scout Law.
Program participants will earn recognition for making a difference in their communities due to their dedication to five of Scouting's core values: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors. Through that commitment, participants can earn each of five award ribbons to display from our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch. (From: http://ww2.scouting.org/100years/100years/AYearOfCelebration.aspx )
The Boy Scout details on the patch requirements can be found at:

Scout Sunday
Last week Scouts from both the Boy Scout Pack and Troop as well as the Girl Scouts expressed their appreciation to the Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church for so many years of support by attending a morning service.
Did you know that our Cub Scout Pack was chartered in 1966 and the Boy Scout Troop was chartered in 1969? For 44 years WBPC has generously provided the Scouts with a place to meet. Over that time Troop 398 has had 38 Boy Scouts earn their Eagle, and several have completed Eagle projects at the church.
