ILST (Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops):
The purpose of the ILST course is to teach Scouts with leadership positions about their new roles and how to reach success most effectively in that role. It is intended to help Scouts in leadership positions within their troop understand their responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. ILST is the first course in the series of leadership training offered to Scouts and is a replacement for Troop Leadership Training. Completion of ILST is a prerequisite for Scouts to participate in the more advanced leadership courses National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT).
Participates can come for free- but registration is required to attend. Lunch is an option for adults and youth- $10.00 for lunch- Turkey sandwich, chips, fruit, drink and cookie.
