Troop Junior Leader Training
By info | May 1, 2007
What is Troop JLT?
Our Troop Junior Leader Training course is a 3 day outdoor experience for the youth in our Troop. This is part of the Scoutmaster’s responsibility for training of his troop’s junior leaders. It is conducted by the Scoutmaster, Adult Leaders, and Junior Leaders. It is based on an outline approved by the National Council, Boy Scouts of America.
What is its purpose?
The course has three aims. First is to give each participant a varied experience in Scout craft skills that can be shared with the members of his patrol and troop. The second is to relate his patrol or troop job to the 11 personal leadership situations. The third is to give participants team building skills that will help them in their patrols and troop.
Who may attend?
Our Troop JLT is open to all members of our troop. It is understood that all of our youth will be involved in a leadership roll at some point during his scouting career. It also helps them to understand why our junior leaders are so important to the success of the troop.
Is it the same every year?
No, our Scoutmaster, along with his assistants, works very hard to keep the Junior Leader training course fresh each year. He uses the “National Youth Leader Training” course as a starting point for the Troop course. All of our youth who qualify, are encouraged to attend the Council sponsored NYLT Course during the summer.
Are there pictures?
Yes, they are located in the Multi-Media section of our website.
