Hi Everyone. My name is Joe Paglisotti, and I was an Assistant Youth Director for the Greater St. Louis Area Council's NYLT in the summer of 2012. I have staffed NYLT for 4 years now, and one of those years I staffed the high adventure course we have, called Pack n' Paddle. Just like Mike said, half the week the participants canoe across a lake, and the other half they are hiking throughout S-F Scout Ranch in Knob Lick, Missouri. While hiking and canoeing, the participants will stop by various stations and outpost camps where the program will be taught to them. It is quite a fun course, as it is kind of like a mix of NYLT, Philmont, and Northern Tier. For the past 2 years, we have offered NYLT for Venturing Scouts as well. This year we received many out-of-council participants, and we would be honored to have any from your councils. If anyone has any questions regarding NYLT, please don't hesitate to email me at jpaglisotti@gmail.com.
