Program Summary
NYLT is a six-day course during which participants live and work together in an outdoor setting, taking the part of a patrol within a Boy Scout troop or team or within a Venturing crew. The program is usually presented by individual Scout councils in a week-long program, although it can be split over two weekends. Courses contain from 40 to 180 Scouts, forming from one to four troops, with six to nine patrols in each. The program is presented by youth leaders under adult supervision. The senior youth leader (or Course Leader) is responsible for supervising program instruction. Youth staff are designated as instructors. They have direct responsibility for the sessions although other youth leaders may conduct some presentations. The participants are grouped into small teams of 6-8 and elect their team leaders. A youth staff member is assigned to each team as a guide or coach to the team leader.

“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”

“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
