This is a rough draft of NYLT. I would work on it further but I have run out of time for now.
I've done some additions/correction to this. You had some very incorrect and now outdated information. "Brownsea JLT" is a LOCAL name, not the term that was used Nationally. Before we had NYLT we had JLTC. Local councils used their own name on this. Also NJLTCIS is gone. The new NAYLE is NOT really the NYLT staff training that some think.

[edit] JLT?
As a Scout, I never heard of National Youth Leadership Training. I went through something that we called Junior Leader Training. --Smack (talk) 01:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I did TLD (Troop Leader Development). TLD (1970s) = JLT (1980s) = NYLT (2000s) --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- NYLT is a new course released by national to replace JLT. TLD has been replaced with TLT(Troop Leadership Training) --BadenPowell 04:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

- correction on the terms. TLD, TLT, JLTC, and NYLT were/are all week-long, council run training. TLD (Troop Leader Development) was in the 70s. Very late 70/early 80s it became TLT (Troop Leadership Training), later renamed JLTC (Junior Leader Training Conference) in the mid-80s or so. NYLT replaced JLTC a couple of years ago. Its important to keep this straight, as National ALSO has/had a series of junior leader training delivered by the troop, and for a brief time had a weekend training course given by district and multitroops that was between the troop delivered training and the weeklong council delivered training (this in the 70s & 80s).

- There may have been some overlap in terms on the older programs. I have a TLD certificate from ca. 1976 signed by my Scoutmaster. I'm sure that was a weekend program at the troop level. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 16:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements
- Section titles should not include NYLT
- BSA has no secrets. Safeguarded material yes.
- A number of words in upper case that shoul be lower case- see the capitalization section of the Language of Scouting
- Define abbreviations (SPL, JASM) on the first use
- No mention of TLD (Troop Leader Development) from the 70s, nor of White Stag.
- No sources
- External links: convert to references where possible, convert to cite format
- That JLT link is not a BSA site as implied, it's also very out of date- recommend delete
- The staff section needs to be simplified and bullets removed.
- There is no discussion of what Scouts actually learn and do at NYLT.

[edit] Leadership positions
The article devotes a lot of attention to troop leadership positions (SPL et al). This belongs at Boy Scouts (Boy Scouts of America), except where it relates specifically to NYLT. --Smack (talk) 17:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- I see what smack is saying, however, is it valid to point that out in this article, since part of the NYLT development is in being apart of staff? I noticed the outline of the course (i.e. the staff positions) was removed, however, maybe this can be re-incorporated either where it was to explain the importance i mentioned earlier, or to be used as a general idea for how the camp is structured? I can go ahead on that edit, but I'd like to get some opinion first.
