Seven Scouts and three adult Leaders from Troop 45 participated in a NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training) seminar held at Camp Seminole over the weekend. NYLT is a premier BSA learning opportunity for youth to gain knowledge, skills, and confidence in leadership techniques. It was truly inspirational to see around 40 youth and 10 adults brave the heat, ticks, and chiggers of our mid-summer Mississippi to put on and to participate in this program. Offering NYLT is a strong reminder of Scouting’s deep commitment to youth—to their personal potential and to their success to become mature citizens.
Pictured above is Troop 45’s contingent to NYLT. Despite the hot weather, spirits ran high…with a little help in the air-conditioned camp dining hall.
Pictured above is the NYLT 2025 class. In addition to Troop 45’s 7 Scouts, 8 more Oxford area Scouts took part. Participants must be 13 years old, have achieved 1st Class rank, and be recommended by their Scout Master.
