National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and other situations demanding leadership of self and others. This year's weeklong NYLT course is scheduled for June 22-27 at Camp Squanto, and registration is now open! The course will focus on the key concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW, and what a leader must DO, with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills are taught interactively during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership. If you're interested in learning more or want to reserve a spot for your scout, please follow the link below to our summer course page: https://buff.ly/44F2s5a

May is Den Leader Appreciation Month in the #MayflowerCouncil. Today, we recognize Matt Schickling of Pack 55 Northborough as our second Den Leader of the Week for May 2024. "Matt's leadership and investment in youth development is obvious in how he speaks to the scouts and guides them through the program. Word of his leadership has spread through the town, and his den is now almost twenty Cub Scouts strong!" explained Pack 55 Cubmaster Eric Young. "Matt also is a voice for inclusion in Cub Scouting and champions the power of Scouting to transform the lives of ALL youth." And with all that said, we hear Matt will be the next Cubmaster of the pack! Congratulations, Matt. "Den Leaders Light the Way!" Scouters! It's time to celebrate some of your extraordinary leaders. Using your suggestions, the Mayflower Council will recognize our superlative Den Leaders via social media weekly in May.
