Youth Leadership Training Continuum This supplemental training module is designed for Scout leaders and parents who want to understand the youth leadership training continuum. It addresses the content of the three levels of the youth leadership training continuum, what the boys learn from each, and how adults can help ensure that youths have every opportunity to become truly great leaders.

For a Youth-Led Troop. We suggest these four phases of training:

Troop Leadership Training Cycle

TLT - Troop Leadership Training - Conducted at the TROOP by the Scoutmaster
YLT - A supplemental District course, such as Silver Bars, where the troop attends a weekend campout using a similar syllabus as TLT. Thge advabtage is that the Scout gets to apply what he learns during a campout
NYLT - A Council level course, such as Nagatamen and Eagle Feather, where the scout attends an intensive week-long course. This is the highest level of local Youth Leadership Training
NAYLE - National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience, conducted at Philmont

Phase I. Troop Leadership Training.
Here are some resources that can be customized to your troop.

TLT PowerPoint presentation and talking points

Leading The Way - a large file that outlines every Position Of Responsibility.
This is not a BSA document. It is the end result of research from units that have made this work. Each position notes a required attendance and performance standard. While there are NO RULES about attendance in any BSA literature, it is widely recognized that you cannot peform if you do not attend.
Position Of Responsibility tracking form.
Much like a "blue card" track progress towards a Merit Badge, this form sets the Youth Leader's goals and vision and tracks his progress. A Mid-term Board Of Review checks his needs and challenges. To recieve crediot for teh six month POR, teh Scout finally meets with the Scoutmaster and BOR for a review of how he did.
