ILST/ILSC
The purpose of the ILST/ILSC 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 unit understand their responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. ILST/ILSC is the first course in the series of leadership training offered to Scouts and is a replacement for Troop Leadership Training/Venturing Leadership Skills Course. Completion of ILST/ILSC 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). It is also required to participate in a Kodiak Challenge Trek.
