Teaching Edge
NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training) is advance leadership training for youth troop, team and crew leaders. NYLT is leadership training for young men and young women. National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops, teams or crews. NYLT teaches life long leadership skills.
NYLT uses the patrol method to teach team leadership. The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW and what a leader must DO. NYLT provides youth leaders with the HOW TO skills they need to be strong youth and strong youth leaders.
Foxfire will take what a Scout learned at National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) and bring it to a whole new level. Scouts will work as a crew to complete many challenges put before them, including tomahawk throwing, rappelling, black powder rifle shooting, forging, and other team building games and activities. Beyond developing a better understanding of the leadership skills taught at NYLT, Scouts will gain knowledge that will help them in the “real world” including resume writing and interview skills. Scouts that have completed Foxfire are sought after for positions on camp and event staffs due to Foxfire’s emphasis on staff development. Foxfire is a unique experience that should be the goal of any youth in our council.
To attend Foxfire, a youth must be 14 years old, have completed NYLT, and if a Boy Scout, have completed Star rank. There is only one course of Foxfire available, so sign up early.

On Saturday, February 17th Troop 384 participated in the 15th annual Guacamole Bowl held at Balboa Park. The event benefitted Sports for Exceptional Athletes, a community based sports program serving over 1,400 athletes with developmental disabilities in San Diego County. Troop 384 was one of 26 teams who competed for the 'best guacamole recipe". Over 1,200 people came out to support the event and vote for their favorite team. Coming in at seventh place (out of 14) were Troop 384's Guacamole Gangsters Jonah S., Jonny F., Evan T. and Maxwell R. The Scouts beat the 11th place adult leader team,The Avocado Ninjas (Myke Fuentes, Charmain Fuentes, Francois Renet and Melissa Rivera-Renet). The weekend was topped off with a great camping experience at BSA's Balboa site. The Scouts were excited to be part of this fun event and demonstrated excellent teamwork, leadership and salesmanship skills. They are looking forward to next year's event and are already devising new recipes!
