the official educator
of
the Leave No Trace (LNT)
organization which

Service, the National Park
Service, the Bureau Of Land Management,

Similarly, LNT training is

leader training such as IOLS.
So, LNT training is needed
for our Scouts and Scouters.
The good news is that

 National
Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)
3 Courses Offered:
- Course 1: Sunday June 17 to Friday June 22, 2012 (48
participants max)
- Course 2:
Monday June 25 to Saturday
June 30, 2012 (48
participants max)
- Course 3: Sunday July 15 to Friday July 21, 2012 (48
participants max)
What is NYLT?
It is an exciting fun-filled
week of training for youth
leaders in Council troops,
teams, crews, and ships.
The course models a month in
the life of a scout unit
with normal weekly meetings
occurring daily, leading up
to an outdoor experience
(overnight output camp).
The course uses the team
method and models a
youth-led unit. Teams
are challenged early in the
week to present to the
course staff and
participants their "Quest
for the Meaning of
Leadership". Along the
journey, teams will go
through the stages of team
development, and Scouts will
develop and refine
leadership skills.
Each session focuses on key
knowledge and gives each
Scout a toolbox of skills
that equips them with the
"how " of leadership.

SDIC 2012 NYLT website at

TERRIFIC STORY FROM
A SCOUT! On
March 3rd, the scouts of
Troop 663 hiked to the top
of Whale peak at elevation
5,300 ft above sea level.
The hike started from Blair
Valley. The first point of
interest was the pictographs
down near the trail head.
Further up the climb, traces
of snow were easily found
and there was enough to
assault theScoutmaster from
many hiding spots.
Retaliation was brutal. The
weather was perfect with
just a slight breeze.
Cholla’s were plentiful and
easily picked up. (Accidently
of course) 23 scouts
attended and completed the
hike including some new
scouts to the troop. -

 Scripps-Mesa
received the 2011 Journey To
Excellence Gold Award!
At the 2012 San
Diego-Imperial Council
Dinner, Scripps-Mesa was one
of only 2 districts to be
recognized with the 2011 JTE
Gold Award.
Congratulations to each of
our units. And, thanks
to everyone for making this
happen together. This
is truly a team win.
And, one that our Scouts
will surely benefit from.

Join Scouting
BE A SCOUT is ready to help
with your unit recruiting. That
means more exposure for
Scouting and more leads for
your unit. It also means
that you’ll need to make
sure that all your unit
information is accurate.
Parents today often use the
internet searches to find
youth activities like
Scouting.
BeAScout.org uses Google
Maps to help parents locate
packs, troops, and crews
near them and lets them
request information from
local Scout units. |
