Interested in becoming a staffer? This is the page for you! Blue Grass Council NYLT handles applications in three phases: 1: Senior Patrol Leader(s) / Youth Course Leads. 2: Returning staff. 3: New staff. We encourage applicants to begin their application early to maximize their chances of making the cut. New staff are required to:
- Be registered and active in a Scouts BSA Troop or Venturing Crew.
- Be at least First Class Rank or above (there is no rank requirement for Venturers).
- Have successfully completed an NYLT Course (does not have to be in this council).
- Have held a position in your unit.
- Have a letter of recommendation from your Unit Leader and another person not related to you (teacher, coach, etc.). It is generally polite to give a person writing you a letter of recommendation at least two weeks to finish it, so ask these people early – a Scout is courteous!
