National Youth Leadership Training - NYLT

Welcome to Session 2 of National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) running at the Big Horn Encampment on Magness Camp, McNeil Scout Ranch at Peaceful Valley.

This registration is intended to be used by the Scout and their parents. It will only allow for one Scout per registration. Parents, there are items in this registration that both you and your Scout must acknowledge. Please take a moment and read this page and all items in the registration as it has changed from last year.

If you are a participant's home unit leader (Scoutmaster or Crew Advisor) please refer the registration on to the Scout's parent - there are items that the Scout and parents must read and acknowledge; paperwork that they need to download, sign and return and payment information that MUST go to them. Thank you!

Note: In the past, we have experienced un-Scoutlike activity where a Scout has been registered for more than one week at a time. If this occurs, the deposit paid for any additional weeks will be forfeited. If you would like to change the week that your Scout is registered to a different week, please reach out to NYLTColorado@gmail.com or the Camping department.

What is the Involvement of the Unit Leader? NYLT is intended to strengthen the relationship between the youth leader and unit leader. The unit leader is highly encouraged to have a pre-course and post-course conference with the participant to discuss their vision and goals for future success of their home unit.

Code of Ethics Every course operates according to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law. Each participant and staff member is welcomed, appreciated and valued. There is no room for hazing or for any activities that do not add to a positive learning experience for everyone.

NYLT is a very popular program and as such we are asking that you check your calendar accordingly when scheduling a registration.

  • Cancellations for any reason will result in forfeiture of your deposit.
  • Payment in full needs to be received by the council office, 30 days before departure. If payment in full is not received your registration will be cancelled and will result in forfeiture of all deposits.

Cancellation Policy

 To help alleviate some questions and concerns from our leaders we have updated our summer camp refund policy as follows. 

 GCC Summer Camp Refund Policy:  The initial $50.00 per Scout deposit for camp is non-refundable but may be applied to and/or transferred to other troop member if a unit’s total registration does not decrease. Cancellations must be received by May 6, 2025, for the 2025 camping season. A cancellation made prior to deadline will receive a refund, less the $50.00 non-refundable deposit per Scout. After May 6, 2025, NO fees will be refunded unless documentation is provided by a medical doctor, or there has been a death in the family. Only Scoutmasters and camp contacts may request refunds.

NOTE: The GCC will refund 100% of paid fees if the camp will not open due to local, state, or federal policy regarding the cancellation of summer camping operations. Individual camper fees may also be refunded if there becomes a conflict with a documented change in the school year. Only Scoutmasters and camp contacts may request refunds, with the appropriate documentation. Cancellations prior to an official governmental closure will be managed as per the original refund policy.

 In cases of financial hardship, scholarships are available and the form is located at nylt.org. Do not contact the Course Director, Scoutmaster, or Registrar directly as they will be unable to assist you. Please contact the council office at 720.266.2143 if you need assistance. AGAIN - Do not contact the Scoutmaster. They are unable to help you with financial assistance.
