July 27, 2024 NYLT Staff Search

First interviews start at 8:30, last end at 3:30

Staffing an NYLT course is a lot of fun, but also requires dedication to hard work and preparation.

If you were on NYLT staff during Winter 2023, or Summer 2024, you do not need to attend Staff Search.

The Youth Training Committee is pleased to offer an interview date for those who are interested in staffing NYLT. 

Interviews will be held at the Cockrell Scout Center.

The applicant's results will be made available to the NYLT Scoutmasters. Youth will not be aware of any evaluation or assessment for their presentation and interview but may attend future Staff Search dates if they feel their performance might improve.

Checklist for Staff Search:

• Wear the BSA field uniform for your program.
• Prepare a 5-minute oral presentation on one of the topics introduced at NYLT (e.g., four stages of team development, conflict resolution, making ethical decisions). 
• Bring necessary props for your presentation (AV technology will not be available).
• Participate in a 6-8 minute interview with an experienced NYLT staff about your experiences since NYLT.
• Complete this registration.
   

Minimum requirements for youth staff members include:

• Be at least age 14 on the first day of the course.
• Have held positions of leadership in their home unit.
• Have completed an NYLT course as a participant.

If selected for a staff:

Complete Trainer's EDGE course offered usually 4 times per year (2 at the council office and twice at University of Scouting).
