| WHAT IS THE NORTH STAR NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING CONFERENCE? | The North Star National Youth Leadership Training is a seven day outdoor experience for current and future leaders in support of the Scoutmaster’s responsibility for the training of his Youth Leaders. The conference utilizes the standard troop structure using the patrol method. Patrol leadership changes daily to give all Scouts a chance to be a Patrol Leader or Assistant. The participants will write their own Vision Statement in which they will plan how to use their newly acquired skills in their home troops. This is the very first time this new and exciting program is being offered in our Council. The Conference has been developed by the National Council B.S.A. and the Greater Western Reserve Council is the Host Council. The conference is the highest leadership training offered to Youth Leaders at the council level. |
| WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE? | The aims of the conference are to give each participant a basic knowledge of various leadership skills while helping them relate these skills to their own troop responsibilities; to give them the confidence and knowledge necessary to run their troop program; to provide an opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts from other troops; and of course, to have FUN! |
