2016 National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)

Personal Packing List

Scouts will be required to carry all their gear to and from their campsites, so care should be taken not to bring unnecessary gear. There will be an overnight backpacking taken during the week, so gear should be selected with an eye towards being light weight. All Scouts are expected to arrive at camp in the full uniform as required by their home unit. While desirable to have a spare, it is not necessary to buy additional uniforms to attend this training. Cell phones/tablets/laptops are allowed, but charging opportunities will be limited, and the Crossroads of America Council cannot be responsible for loss or damage.
