Special NAYLE Edition
Rule No. 61:
- When called upon to speak to any group or audience, resist the urge to describe the thoughts that ran through your head before you figured out what you were actually going to say. The three most important elements of a good speech or talk are (1) a “wake-up” opening, (2) a thoughtful close, and (3) keeping 1 and 2 as close together as possible.
Some leaders may be born, but STRONG leaders are MADE! So let’s get going and NAIL IT at NAYLE!
NAYLE—the BSA’s premiere Philmont-based youth Leadership Training—is coming your way, so alert all your troops, crews, ships, and teams, all Scouts and Venturers, and Sea Scouts, too!
NAYLE IS ON THE ROAD!
What’s “NAYLE”?
- It’s the BSA’s National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience, begun at Philmont and again this summer on the road to BSA regions around the country!
What Do You Learn at NAYLE?
- Encouraging others to live lives of leadership-through-service.
- Acting as a “servant-leader” and sharing your leadership skills and group dynamics understanding to help others develop as well, in an outdoor setting.
- Intuitively using your leadership skills in all aspects of your life.
- Becoming an advocate for advanced leadership training back home in your local council.
- Using what you’ve learned at NAYLE to help others become more successful.
What Can I Expect?
- Challenging and fun group and individual activities in an outdoor setting.
- Learnings that lead to the opportunity of changing how you lead and how you live your life!
Participants were asked how much they’d recommend NAYLE to others like them and, on a 1 (low) to 5 (high) scale, they said: 4.9!
Here are some actual quotes:
“All I can say is WOW! It was such an amazing experience with so much in one week. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone who’d like more leadership skills.”
“I had the best time of my life! The…experience made it all come together and made it a once-in-a-lifetime event. This was so much fun actually using the skills and then being able to connect them back to what’s taught (back home). It will definitely help me make the best of my home course.”
