The National Leadership Seminar is a weekend conference on the skills and attributes of leadership. It is intended primarily to enhance the leadership skills of the Order of the Arrow’s key youth and adult members as they seek to improve their services to the Boy Scouts of America and the greater community. The weekend format is designed to complement the longer, more detailed Wood Badge and National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) Programs. Near the end of the seminar, participants make a contract with themselves to apply the skills studied in the seminar on projects in their lodge, council, and community.

The Developing Youth Leadership Conference (DYLC) is a weekend conference focusing on the skills and attributes of effective lodge advisers. It is intended primarily to enhance an adviser’s knowledge of and connectivity with the OA’s strategic plan, program, and resources, while emphasizing personal skills that are essential to the development of effective youth leadership and ultimately the OA’s service to the council.

Check-In will begin at 6:00 p.m. Friday evening. The first NLS & DYLC sessions will start promptly at 8:00 p.m. The seminar will conclude at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon after a closing recognition banquet lunch.

We will host a cracker barrel on Friday evening after training sessions are concluded. The first full meal for learners will be breakfast on Saturday morning.
