The Orange County Council Trailblazers / National Youth Leader Training (NYLT) course

Leadership and team building skills are an important part of the course. Throughout the week, Scout youth leaders from Orange County Council will be living, camping and learning together as members of a Patrol and Troop. Experienced youth and adult staff will assist in the training process.

For Participants

Trailblazers is for Scouts at least 13 years old, who attained the rank of First Class, attended week long summer camp and are currently filling a leadership position or showing possible future leadership potential.

The course stresses two areas that will benefit your Troop:

1. Scout craft skills and how they can be passed on to other members of the Troop and Patrol, and

2. Leadership skills that will make the youth leader more effective. Scouts, who apply, MUST be recommended by their Scoutmaster.

The highly trained staff is developed from youth who have graduated from the course themselves and are leaders in their own Troops. Adult staff provide supervision, support and a safe atmosphere.
