WHAT IS National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)?

National Youth Leadership Training is a six day experience designed to provide each Scout with a meaningful experience in Scouting that will enhance his knowledge and create a deeper understanding of his role and responsibilities as a leader.

National Youth Leadership Training integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, National Youth Leader Training participants engage in a unified approach to leadership that gives skill and confidence to lead well.

Objectives:

* Provide participants with a clear understanding of team and personal development and how those elements relate to being a leader.
* Guide the participants through the stages of team development
* Create an environment of Scouting fellowship and fun guided by the Scout Oath and Law
* Give participants the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts from other troops
* Have fun and experience Scouting at its best.

Picked this up from Brownsea Island. It didn't make the exact destination that it wanted to get to, as the original Brownsea Island cache has been archived, but we picked it up from the new replacement cache.

I didn't realise that it wanted its photo taken on Brownsea, but I've got a picture of the commemorative stone on Brownsea which I took just before picking up the TB, which I'll upload with this log. Whilst on the Island, I visited the scouting trading post, and was introduced to one of the people who runs the scout camp there, and was told that he had been to Buckingham Palace just the weekend before to be made a Queen Scout.

To add to the scouting connection, I've never actually camped on Brownsea when I was a scout, but I was a cub scout, scout, and venture scout for many years, and then worked as the maintenance guy at the scout camp on the Isle of Wight for many years after that.

As the TB now wants to return back to the USA, I'll try to drop him somewhere not too far from an airport - unless you'd rather he travelled a bit more widely (I might be off to Iceland in a few weeks time...)

The note attached to this TB says that it wants to go to Brownsea Island, which is why I picked it up - I was going to take it very close to its goal next week. However, now I see that it wants to go somewhere else, and I'm not sure if I can help?

Although the original Browsea cache has been muggled, there is now a replacement - would it still like to visit the island?

Just dropping this guy in the event for milage. Only 22 days until the bug and I head off to England! (In case you're wondering, I'm probably aiming him for GCMNVM, as it's the only cache I could find that was large enough!)

\When I fould this bug in Watsons Loop, I knew I had to take it. I am going to England (Near the goal of the bug) in a few weeks and plan on caching. I will e-mail the owner to ask if this is ok.

What a great idea. Slate and I will try to help this T.B. log some miles and maybe get a little closer to its goal.
