Alpine Conference
October 22-24, 2010

The Alpine Conference is a weekend conference for the top adult and youth leaders of council NYLT. 

The Conference is designed for Scouters, Scouts, and professional staff who lead (or intend to lead) their Council’s National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course —including Course Directors/Scoutmasters, Course Advisers, Staff Advisers, course Senior Patrol Leaders, ASPL’s, and candidates for each of these positions. It’s also for key Training Committee people in your Council.

For the past ten years, hundreds of Scouts and Scouters like yourself across our Region
 have enjoyed the fellowship, learning, and camaraderie of this Conference,
and we hope you’ll join us!

 

The program is fast-paced, involving, with interactive sessions on key subjects ranging from promotions to program features, grub to gamesmanship, finance to fun, staff development to sustaining enrollment, camperships to campfires. We’ll also have several sessions to address specific issues you may have in your own Council.  And, we’ll have sessions for Council startups.  In short, everything you could want to know about starting or improving your Council NYLT program will be here! 
The staff for this Conference is top-flight, with deep experience, and drawn from across the Region.
