International Awareness Religious Emblem
04/21/2012
8:30 AM - 1:30 AM
Holy Resurrection Melkite Catholic Church
4611 Glenmawr Ave, Columbus
The Catholic Committee on Scouting offers an annual International Awareness emblem program. This program is one of the best kept secrets in the Columbus Diocese for any youth or adult, male or female. A fascinating and informative program is presented in the Holy Resurrection Melkite Church, an Eastern Rite Catholic Church in Columbus. A two and one-half hour, Saturday morning, program for Cub Scout age youth and their parents and leaders earns each participant an International Pin and Patch. Boy Scout age youth, their parents and leaders participate in a four and one-half hour program that provides interesting historical and practical information, a lunch and an International Pin, Patch and Medallion. This program clearly provides the best and the most interesting way to earn this emblem. The Pope and the International Catholic Conference of Scouting (ICCS) demonstrate their awareness of Scouting in the Catholic Church, throughout the world, by providing this opportunity for its members to meet together as friends in the Catholic Church.
The event will be held:
Saturday, April 2, 2011

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.
For many years, junior leader training (JLT) was an important part of the leadership training continuum of BSA local councils throughout America. In 2003 and 2004, a task force of leadership experts and hundreds of Scouts in pilot courses across the nation reviewed and tested every aspect of the new NYLT syllabus, which incorporates the latest leadership ideas and presents fresh, vital and meaningful training for today's Scouts.
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
NYLT is a six-day course covered over two weekends. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.
Built on the legacy of past JLT successes, the new NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skill and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, games, and adventures, participants will work and play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) - Nagatamen

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.
For many years, junior leader training (JLT) was an important part of the leadership training continuum of BSA local councils throughout America. In 2003 and 2004, a task force of leadership experts and hundreds of Scouts in pilot courses across the nation reviewed and tested every aspect of the new NYLT syllabus, which incorporates the latest leadership ideas and presents fresh, vital and meaningful training for today's Scouts.
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.
Built on the legacy of past JLT successes, the new NYLT integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audio-visual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skill and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, games, and adventures, participants will work and play together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.
Cost: $155.00 - There is a $20 late fee for registrations and payments received within two weeks of a course.
