Training Update

The Atlanta Area Council’s website is a wealth of information for all things scouting. It’s especially good at providing information for youth training. 

Here’s a link https://www.atlantabsa.org/youthtraining that provides info on BSA Youth Leader training. Note that Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) is a required training to attend National Youth Leader Training (NYLT).

ILST is suggested as an annual training event in the troops. I noticed they are also offering this at the VSC (Scout Shop) on specific dates this year. It’s designed to give new youth leaders ideas, thoughts and techniques to be successful in their new roles while allowing experienced scout leaders to share their knowledge and experience to elevate troop leadership.

There are very few born leaders. Some work on their leadership skills their entire life and still have some things they would like to improve on. ILST and NYLT are offered to help scouts develop their skills. Hope to see you take advantage of these offerings.
