October 2020
Dear Scouts, Scouters, and Families,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Shenandoah Area Council’s 2021 National Youth Leadership Training Course, to be held this June at Camp Rock Enon in Gore, VA.
National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide all 14-20-year-old youth members of Scouts BSA with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others. NYLT participants will follow a syllabus which represents a typical activity cycle in the life of a unit. They will discover what is required in leading themselves and others, and through a variety of presentations, activities and challenges, will develop a “toolbox” of effective leadership skills they can make their own.
Set against the beautiful, unbroken loveliness of CRE, we will spend the week focusing on finding and honing our leadership tools. Participants will be cooking in camp and will spend at least one night in their own tent/hammock. As NYLT is not an outdoor skills course, it is important that each participant have basic camping and outdoor cooking experience.
NYLT is leadership training for Scouts who have a desire to lead, who serve or will serve in leadership roles within their home units, or even school or community organizations. Three of my own sons have completed NYLT Training, with one continuing his leadership training by attending National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE), at Florida Sea Base. Beyond leadership roles in their Troop, I have seen them take on leadership roles in the classroom, on school sports teams, and at community events. My oldest son is now a freshman at Marshall University where he is a member of ROTC. He uses the skills he learned in NYLT every day.
Again, it is my pleasure to welcome you to SAC-NYLT 2021. I truly believe NYLT is one of the very best things that Scouts BSA does. I am honored to be a part of it, and I look forward to meeting you and your Scout.

NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Overview: The Shenandoah Area Council is pleased to offer National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) this summer. The course is a 6-day program held over two 3-day sessions May 29-31 & June 11-13. National Youth Leadership Training will bring new skills and greater enthusiasm to your youth leadership. Scouting recognizes that Unit Leaders have the primary responsibility for training their youth leaders. The purpose of NYLT is not to assume that role, but rather to support it. This course features instruction in skills that can be used at home, at school, on the job, and at the Scout unit level. Through activities, events, games, and adventures, NYLT participants will work hard and play hard together as they put into action the best Scouting has to offer.
Course Goals: • Give participants the confidence and knowledge to conduct the unit program • Provide participants with a clear understanding of team and personal development and how those elements relate to being a leader • Guide the participants through the stages of team development • Create an environment of Scouting fellowship and fun guided by the Scout Oath and Law • Give participants the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts from other units • Have fun and experience Scouting at its best

NYLT GENERAL SCHEDULE
Daily schedules will be extremely full, consisting of instructional periods, designated patrol time, and troop activities. Participants should also expect to prepare meals in their patrol’s campsite and to spend one night on outpost.
THE NYLT EXPERIENCE AT CAMP ROCK ENON
Camp Rock Enon is owned and operated by the Shenandoah Area Council, BSA. It is administered by a full-time Camp Ranger/Director, trained, and certified by the National Camping School of the Boy Scouts of America. The camp is inspected annually by the Virginia Department of Health and internally through the National Camp Accreditation Program. It is consistently rated as a Nationally Accredited Camp.
Founded in 1944, Camp Rock Enon has almost 900 acres of majestic forest nestled in the northern tip of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and offers an almost unlimited supply of programs and activities to provide an experience of a lifetime.
Our staff undergo all necessary BSA background checks for working with youth. The NYLT course director has attended CDC, and all NYLT staff training includes Basic Life Support and First Aid, Youth Protection, effective teaching and learning strategies and much more. We employ trained Health Officers (EMT) to ensure proper treatment for anything from the simple cut to more serious matters requiring immediate attention.
NYLT participants will be divided into coed patrols and will utilize one of the 14 campsites within the main camp area of CRE, all of which are a short walking distance to all program areas and services used as part of the NYLT program. Each site is equipped with two-person tents on raised platforms and include sleeping cots, a shelter, picnic tables, latrine with wash station and potable water, flagpole, bulletin board and campfire circle. Within main camp you will find flush toilets and a shower house with hot water available all day and night. Participants will also spend one night on outpost and should be prepared as such.
For the 2021 NYLT course the program will be conducted over 6 days for two 3-day weekend sessions May 29-31 and June 11-13. Participants must attend both sessions to complete the course.

Annual Health and Medical Record
Medical Information: The Boy Scouts of America recommends that all youth and adult members have annual medical evaluations by a certified and licensed health-care provider. In an effort to provide better care to those who may become ill or injured and to provide youth members and adult leaders a better understanding of their own physical capabilities, the Boy Scouts of America has established minimum standards for providing medical information prior to participating in various activities. Those standards are offered below in one three-part medical form. Note that unit leaders must always protect the privacy of unit participants by protecting their medical information.
Parts A and B is to be completed annually by all BSA unit members. Both parts are required for all events that do not exceed 72 consecutive hours, where the level of activity is similar to that normally expended at home or at school, such as day camp, day hikes, swimming parties, or an overnight camp, and where medical care is readily available. Medical information required includes a current health history and list of medications. Part C also includes the parental informed consent and hold harmless/release agreement (with an area for notarization if required by your state) as well as a talent release statement. Adult unit leaders should review participants’ health histories and become knowledgeable about the medical needs of the youth members in their unit. This form is to be filled out by participants and parents or guardians and kept on file for easy reference.
Part C is required with parts A and B for any event that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, or when the nature of the activity is strenuous and demanding, such as a high-adventure trek. Service projects or work weekends may also fit this description. (The Shenandoah Area Council requires all individuals attending resident camps to complete all three parts.) It is to be completed and signed by a certified and licensed health-care provider—physician (MD, DO), nurse practitioner, or physician’s assistant as appropriate for your state. The level of activity ranges from what is normally expended at home or at school to strenuous activity such as hiking and backpacking. Other examples include tour camping, jamborees, and Wood Badge training courses. It is important to note that the height/weight limits must be strictly adhered to if the event will take the unit beyond a radius wherein emergency evacuation is more than 30 minutes by ground transportation, such as backpacking trips, high-adventure activities, and conservation projects in remote areas.
Because the form is a form you can complete online and print, we have supplied the link below for the application. We have also supplied a link to the Frequently Asked Questions for your convenience. Remember, this Annual Health and Medical Report is REQUIRED for anyone who stays overnight at Camp Rock Enon.
