Youth Training

Powder Horn 2017

Powder Horn is designed to help the troop, team, or crew by exposing older Scouts, Venturers and adult leaders to safely conducted outdoor/high-adventure activities of a fun and challenging nature.

The course provides an introduction to the resources needed to successfully lead youth through a program of outdoor adventure and is based upon giving participants an exposure to outdoor/high-adventure activities.

The course presenters are expert consultants, from inside and outside of Scouting, in each outdoor high adventure activity. It is not a certification event. Powder Horn is for any youth or adult interested in experiencing a unit-level, high-adventure.

Our 2016 NYLT Course was a great success!  The next course, our 3rd round, to be offered will be in late summer, 2018, as we move forward with our two-year cycle alternating with Wood Badge.

WHAT IS NYLT?

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide all 13 to 20-year-old youth members of the Boy Scouts of America, both male and female, with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

SCOUTS AND VENTURERS - WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
