The NYLT Experience

The NYLT Experience

The NYLT ExperienceLessons Learned

Leading yourself has helped me the most because I was able to take those skills and apply them to my daily life.

It allows me to look and think differently; I can think about what’s going to happen to me and others to ensure we are being safe.

The NYLT Experience

The NYLT ExperienceFavorite Memory

When my patrol came together and we were all having fun building and testing our catapult.
