EVENT SUMMARY FOR FEBRUARY 2023 ILST COURSE AT CAMP HIGHROAD
Troop 150 held its first Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) in over two years on February 18-19, 2023 at Pine Lodge on Camp Highroad in Middleburg, Virginia.
According to Scouting.org:
“The purpose of the ILST course is to teach Scouts with leadership positions about their new roles and how to most effectively reach success in that role. It is intended to help Scouts in leadership positions within their troop understand their responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. ILST is the first course in the series of leadership training offered to Scouts and is a replacement for Troop Leadership Training. Completion of ILST is a prerequisite for Scouts to participate in the more advanced leadership courses National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) and the National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE).
In the morning, Scouts participated in an Escape Room, where you had to solve puzzles to escape from a room. The afternoon was a classroom setting where we discussed leadership techniques and concepts, like servant leadership and chain of command. We learned by playing situation games and coming up with our own leadership quotes.
