The NYLT to
NAYLE BRIDGE
NAYLEBridge Page1
What is the NYLT to NAYLE Bridge? The purpose of this course is to provide a summary of National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) skills to those youth who have been unable to attend a council NYLT course for reasons beyond their control. The Bridge course reviews all of the key leadership skills taught in NYLT, which are then reinforced by the experiential learning environment of the National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE). We prefer that a council or cluster training team, preferably with NYLT experience run this as a 5 hour course so that the exercises can be experienced. However this may not be possible and we don’t want a youth to once again be unable to get access to NYLT toolbox and concepts. Therefore we offer both a shortened course format without the activities, and grant the permission for qualified youth who are able to easily grasp leadership concepts to read this syllabus (and watch the required video clips) as a substitute for the course. This latter option is only allowed IF an NYLT Course Director or other qualified adult with NYLT experience will ensure that the required learning has taken place. This course is not intended for use by Boy Scouts or Varsity youth whose councils have been offering NYLT courses and it is not to be used as a shortcut around NYLT. It will be a temporary measure to increase the number of qualified youth staff for NYLT and to attend NAYLE who have been unable to take NYLT in the past. This Bridge course will cease to exist in 2012 as there will have been 2 opportunities for all youth to attend NYLT, beginning in 2011. A new unit leadership course, Crew Leadership Training (CLT) should be taken before this Bridge course if at all possible. It is the new Troop Leadership Training (TLT) equivalent unit level course for Venturing. Youth taking the NYLT to NAYLE Bridge should take the new CLT in their home unit as this will aid in the full understanding of the NYLT and NAYLE skill sets. Revision Date: 25 Mar 2010

Use the space below to write ways in which a goal you are testing fulfills each requirement of a SMART goal. Specific The Goal is Specific in these ways.

4AssessmentToolPreparing Your Plans Worksheet
1. Start, Stop, Continue
Start, Stop, Continue is a tool for testing the effectiveness of your plans. It can be used whenever evaluation is appropriate. Start – What should we start doing that will make things better? Stop – What should we stop doing because it is not helping? Continue- What is a strength and is working well that we want to continue doing? 2. Action Plans
NAYLEBridge Page41
5TheTeachingEDGE Explain – Explain what you are going to teach and why Demonstrate – Demonstrate the skill. Ensure that your audience can see and hear clearly. Go at a slow pace so that each step in the process is clearly demonstrated. Guide – Provide the materials and tools needed for learners to complete the exercise. Coach/guide the learners as they go through the exercise the first time. A learner must do a new activity at least twice. That’s how real learning takes place. Repetition is essential. Doing something once is not enough. Enable – Evaluate the effort. Encourage the learners to keep trying until they master the skill. Only then have you enabled them to go off on their own and use that skill whenever they feel it is appropriate. Remember, teaching is not effective unless learning takes place! What would a person in each phase of learning need from a teacher? Forming: Storming: Norming: Performing:
NAYLEBridge Page42
6DevelopingYourTeamWorksheet A team is a group of people who share a common vision. They work together to complete goals that will help them realize their shared vision. They support and depend on one another. The team method is not a way to operate a Boy Scout troop; it is the only way. Unless the team method is in operation, you don't really have a Boy Scout troop. —Baden-Powell Stages of Team Development Forming - Low skills, high enthusiasm
Storming - Low skills, low enthusiasm
Norming - Growing skills, rising enthusiasm
Performing - High skills, high enthusiasm

2. Be aware of others.
3. Listen
Bribery Concern Persuasion Interest Straightforwardness ______________________ ______________________
4. Use your EAR Express – What do you want and what are you doing to get it?
Address – Why is it working, or why is that not working?
Resolve – What ways are there to solve the problem?

9MakingEthicalDecisions Steps to Ethical Decision-Making Life is about choices. Some are big choices, some are small. Whatever the case there are some very clear steps we can follow to make choices that are in keeping with our ethical beliefs. Step One: Getting the Facts Straight Any attempt to make a good decision has to begin with getting the facts of the situation straight, In some cases which seem at first quite difficult, additional facts are enough to make the correct course of action apparent. If, for example, we wish to decide how much of our forests should be cut down now, and how much left for future generations, we need first to establish some facts about the rate at which forests regenerate. These facts might be ascertained through science, or just through the experiences of people who have observed forests over long periods of time. Step Two: Figure out What Kind of Decision It Is The categories of choices are:
Those that are Trivial
Those that are Right vs. Wrong
Those that are Right vs. Right
************** Our personal values are reflected in our behaviors. Behavior is not “Do I think the right thing?” But rather “Do I DO the right thing?”
NAYLEBridge Page46
10ChecklistforEthicalDecisionMaking This checklist can be used to test choices when you are considering whether a decision is ethical. If you answer NO to any of the items you may be heading in the wrong direction. Be Checks: _____ Yes _____ No Does it conform to the Scout Oath and Law? _____Yes _____ No Is it legal? _____Yes _____ No Am I being Obedient? _____Yes _____ No Am I being Brave? _____Yes _____ No Does it conform with the Golden Rule? Know Checks: _____Yes _____ No Will this choice help me build trust with others? _____Yes _____ No Does it allow me to remain loyal to y values? _____Yes _____ No Does it conform with my religious beliefs? _____Yes _____ No Am I being Helpful? _____Yes _____ No Are my actions Friendly Courteous Cheerful and
Kind? Do Checks: _____Yes _____ No Am I fulfilling my duty to God and my country? _____Yes _____ No Does this choice help me stay physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight?
_____Yes _____ No Does it conform to the principles of the Outdoor Code?
NAYLEBridge Page47
11CommunicationSkillsChecklist _______ Neutral Position. The leader stands comfortably before
the audience, hands at his sides. His posture is good. _______ Feet. The leader positions himself where everyone can
see and hear him without distraction. If possible, the leader moves around during the presentation.
_______ Hands. The leader uses his hands and arms as
communicating tools, inviting the audience’s participation while not distracting them with constant motion.
_______ Mouth. The leader communicates loudly enough for
everyone to hear, and clearly enough for everyone to understand. He varies the tone of his voice as he talks.
_______ Eyes. The leader makes eye contact with listeners. _______ Ears. The leader is aware of how listeners respond to
what he says and he adjusts his communicating to fit their needs.
NAYLEBridge Page48
12ValuingPeople(OthersWorksheet) Goals are the steps you complete to fulfill a vision. Goals that are SMART
will lead you in the direction you want to go.
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely ROPE - An effective approach to increasing diversity of a team. Reach Out - Look to those who are not like you in terms of religion, race, ability, culture and traditions.
Organize - Do all you can to help deliver the promise of the Scouting Program?
Practice - Practice using the skills of NYLT to build on the diversity in your team, troop, team, crew or ship.
Experience - The experiences you have as you include others in your unit can make your Scouting experience richer.
