Scouts "NAYLE" the Qualities of Leadership at Philmont Rocky Mountain Scout Camp

The home of the National Advanced Leadership Experience (NAYLE) is at Rocky Mountain Scout Camp at Philmont Scout Ranch. located near Cimarron, NM.

A great article describing the NAYLE experience was in the March-April, 2007 issue of Scouting magazine.

The article includes:

"NAYLE Coordinator Bob Longoria says Scouts who attend the Philmont leadership course return to their troops with a commitment to develop other boys into effective leaders. 'We are steering people toward a life of leadership service,' and 'The skills taught at NAYLE apply to everything a young man does,' Longoria adds, "whether he's at home, at school, or in a meeting with his Scout troop.'"

and a Scout participant and staff member, Payton Bramlett, is quoted as saying:

"At NYLT, Scouts are given a 'toolbox' of leadership methods. At NAYLE we want to make using those tools second nature, something they can just pull out and apply without having to think about it."

You can read more about the NAYLE course and the schedule for 2009 on the NAYLE Web pages.
