2019 Grey Wolf NYLT
The course is designed around a model troop/crew's month. The unit is
led by a youth staff trained to provide counseling and mentoring. Adult
leadership is present, but the unit is run by the well-trained youth
staff. Youth completing the course return to their units ready to lead
and more excited for Scouting. A one-week program held in June and
July, it replicates the first three weeks of typical unit operations,
including patrol leader's council meetings, troop/crew meetings, patrol
meetings, and planning for a big event. Becoming a better leader is the
theme, but many aspects apply to daily life. You'll need the desire to
make a long-term commitment to master the skills and tools to benefit
your troop or crew. Grey Wolf (NYLT) is unlike any other Scout camp
you've attended. You won't work on merit badges, advancement, or have
daily swims. You'll play a lot of games and do fun activities (like
geocaching) that promote team-building. Get ready for a fast-paced week
and prepare to learn for yourself and your unit.

How to Register for Grey Wolf (NYLT)
The deadline for submitting nominations has changed. It is now March 1, 2019!
Scoutmasters/Advisors will receive information in the mail in early
January. The information will explain the opportunity for units
to nominate one primary and one secondary Scout/Venturer for Grey Wolf
(NYLT). Space is limited to 320 total youth over the 4 one-week
sessions. We hope to give every troop/crew in the council one spot per
year. Depending on how many units apply, some units may be offered a
second spot.
Send someone who wants to go and will be leading their troop/crew when
they return home. Send someone who sets a good example for others. Send
the right Scout, for the right reasons, and you'll be happy you did.
Attitude is the most important factor when it comes to selecting
someone to attend.
After Scoutmasters/Advisors have submitted their choices online, the
participants will be notified and asked to also register and pay the
fees online. All registrations, fees, and health forms are due April 1
of the participating year. The "Early Bird" cost to attend Grey Wolf
(NYLT) is $250. This fee covers all camp fees and meals. There is a
small trading post at the camp that is available a few times a week so
Scouts may want to bring a few extra dollars.
