For Questions, please check the FAQs first. If we have not answered your question there, contact info@sfbac-nylt.org.
Unit Leaders: For SFBAC-NYLT to be effective, we need your help. This page is meant to give you a short summary of what to expect and how you can help.

Youth Selection: SFBAC-NYLT is meant as a training course. It is not summer camp.The participants that you send should be mature enough that they can come back to your unit and be in a meaningful leadership position.

Do Send:
Do send a youth that you expect to take on a leadership position in your Unit.
Do send a mature person; sometimes having a youth wait a year before going to NYLT is better for him (her) and the Unit.
Do send youth that will be a credit to your Unit.
Do Not Send:
Do not send someone that you need to keep an eye on on your outings.
Do not send someone that have not had at least one multi-day camp experience.
Do not send someone that does not want to go.
Do not send your trouble-maker in hopes that NYLT will fix him in a week.
What is Expected: The partipant will be learning the basic leadership skills outlined in What is NYLT? For learning to be most effective, the skills need to be applied. This, in addition to the selection process, is where the Unit Leader helps most.
Goals to Complete: Either going into NYLT, or coming out of NYLT, the participant should have some ideas on how to make the Unit better. These need to be agreed upon by both the Unit Leader and the youth. The youth should have a list of 3 goals to complete.
Completion: We encourage Leaders to work with their NYLT participants to have the Goals sized so that they are completed in the October-November timeframe. When the participant has demonstrated leadership thru these agreed-upon goals, then E-mail SFBAC-NYLT at Info@Brownsea-NYLT.org and state what the youth has done to demonstrate leadership.
How NYLT is integrated with other Youth Training programs:
See the webpage: Youth Leadership Training Continuum or download a pdf version of the page. As yet, neither of these has been fully updated to integrate Venturing into the Youth Training Programs. However, the content is applicable both for Boy Scouts and Venturing..

SFBAC-NYLT, formerly known as Brownsea-NYLT, is offered by San Francisco Bay Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. One session is offered in 2012 - Monday, June 25 to Saturday, June 30. SFBAC-NYLT is open to BOTH Boy Scouts AND Venturers from all Councils.
