Youth Leadership Training
National
Youth Leadership Training (NTLT)
is a youth leadership development training program of the Boy Scouts of
America (BSA). The program was designed so that Scouts will learn
leadership skills that can be used within Scouting and everyday life.
The
Simon
Kenton Council is offering two sessions of National Youth Leadership
Training. Each course is based on the National BSA syllabus,
but
maintains its own traditions and ceremonies. For more
information and to register, visit the Nagatamen
and Eagle
Feather event pages on the Council Website

Facebook Groups
This is not an article about how to avoid wasting time on Facebook.
If you think you're spending too much time on Facebook, check
out Facebook
Addicts Anonymous . . . which is on Facebook.
A Facebook search on the term "Boy
Scouts" turns up over 500 Facebook groups
devoted to some aspect of scouting, e.g. Old
School Boy Scouts Against Geocaching (USE A COMPASS NEXT TIME!).
Check them out, you might find something interesting.
Scouting facebook groups of interest to local scouters

Website Status
Work
on the Worthington Website
resumed as of January 5 after a hiatus of several months.
The list of events (left column) is in the process of being
updated. In addition, many links on
the
site have been broken due to major changes in the Council and Buckeye
District websites. These will be repaired as part of a top
to
bottom review of the site.

The Worthington Scouts website
was created in 2006 as
part of a Simon Kenton Council
initiative to bring scouting closer to the community. It is
operated under the supervision of the Worthington Assistant District
Commissioner and is intended to provide service and information to
scout units of Worthington, Ohio. The site's focus varies due to
the
short attention span of its
webmaster, but the site attempts to
highlight material that might be interesting or useful to
local
scouts and scouters.
Articles, pictures, and information from area scouts, scouters, and
units are welcome and encouraged. Send material to

Who Are You?
This is not about rock anthems from the 60's. It's about your
unit website. From the Council website:
| Capturing
Unit Information... Don't
miss the chance to have your Pack's web site listed on Simon Kenton
Council's web site. We
are collecting unit information to make sure we have the most current
contact information for your unit. If you are a unit leader, fill out the form
at the attached link. Form. |
Pack
and troop websites are some of scouting's best kept secrets, although
probably not by design. Help raise the visibility of your
pack/troop
website by filling in the informational form posted by the Simon
Kenton Council
and linked by the thumbnail image at left. The information
will be
stored on a private spreadsheet and will eventually make its way into
useful lists on Simon Kenton Council's website. |

Leader Orientation Workshop
Spring 2011

Supplemental
training modules are designed to provide orientation
beyond the basic training offered in New Leader Essentials and
leader-specific training. Each module is a unit of training that can be
used as an outline for a group, for personal coaching, or for
self-study. Most of the outlines should require about an hour to
complete. Consider each unit of study to be an introduction to the
subject. Scouters are welcome to download subjects that are
of interest
for personal or unit use . . . .
. mmmmmm, chainsaws!
Subjects include:
