The NYLT Leadership Academy is the premier BSA youth leadership course teaching youth to teach leadership to other youth. In 2021, the opportunity to earn one West Virginia University college credit for attending the course was announced. The NYLT Leadership Academy & West Virginia University are excited to announce, Leadership Academy II—a 2 credit college level course that delves deeper into leadership and builds on the foundations of the 1 credit college level prerequisite course.
The NYLT Leadership Academy has long been a program for premier leaders in the Boy Scouts of America, and has focused on the fundamental skills of instruction and evaluation as a way to build strong leaders and teachers. This summer that program takes the next step in delivering an exceptional program through a partnership with West Virginia University!
