SSScout Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 ""Two become first in state to be inducted in national society"" " THURMONT -- More than 300 people -- mostly Boy Scouts -- gathered on Friday at Camp Airy to celebrate outstanding leadership within their troops. The uniformed group filled a mountainside dining hall, where they ate chocolate cake in honor of two Frederick County Scouts who were recognized for their achievements." http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=139550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basementdweller Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Never heard of the Society...... http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/Natl_Youth_Leadership_Society_512-354.pdf Good bunch of required training. Lets see NYLT $150 NAYLT $355 Kodiak $150 SEAL $50 Order of the Arrow National Leadership Seminar $150 Actual leadership of peers is really weak....PL and SPL gets ya qualified. Looks like a political hot potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 DANG, gotta attend 3 courses to qualify. PLUS the cost of the induction kit. Don't see many folks going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudu Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No, it's the other religion: "It's a great way to prepare for the real world," Platt said of his Scouting experience. "I feel it's preparing me for being a CEO...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The point system kinda falls apart when you have a boy who is two different crew VPs plus SPL at the same time. (Or crew pres and vp at the same time.) That happens with us a lot, but what I see (as with the multiple hat discussion in the other thread) is a youth trying to be a leader in a way that isn't defined by any one patch. In any case, I remember hearing about this a few years back, and wasn't impressed. It's just one more thing to put on a resume. I'd be more impressed by a job applicant who has led a little bit in scouting, a little at church or community, maybe team captain, etc ...

Eagle92 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just noticed that in the point system, a Boatswains mate and crew VP are worth 2 points, but ASPL is only worht 1 point. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emb021 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The National Youth Leadership Society was rolled out in 2009. It actually started out as a National Venturing Leadership Society, until some people stuck their hands in it, and opening it up to Boy Scouts. After all, can't have something for Venturers that Boy Scouts can't have, right? BTW, many councils have scholarships for NYLT. Many troops will usually pay for their scouts going. Nothing stopping councils for having scholarships for NAYLE. Lodges will often cover some of the cost for NLS. Just because your council doesn't, doesn't mean others don't.
