2007 National Youth Leadership Training another Smash Success

Dear Butte District Scouters:

Our ORE-IDA council National Youth Leadership training program wrapped up another successful year training almost sold out classes for Weeks One and Week Two at Camp Morrison.

NYLT which many veterans remember as Baden Powell is called my many Wood Badge for Teenagers.

Your Butte District was well represented again for this year.  Not only did Butte send several youth leaders, but yours truly delivered a training program on oral presentation skills for the youth leadership corps the night before the candidates for Week One arrived.

As you know the NYLT Senior Youth Staff is made up of Scouts most of whom have attained the rank of First Class, Star, Life and Eagle Scout.  This staff teachers advanced leadership skills via classroom and field excercises during this challenging and exciting week long program during which all live and work in the wilds of a primitive camp site in a remote location of Camp Morrison.

Check the Council Website as July draws near in 2008 and reserve a slot for your unit's up and coming leaders. http://www.oreida-bsa.org/ - Click on Training in left menu and select National Youth Leadership Training in the drop-down menu.

Butte District Committee Chairman Barrie Smith reports we have scholarship money for your youth representatives - check for details.

Sincerely,

Vandye Forrester
