ILST Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops

Leadership is a vital part of the Scouting program. Youth in positions of leadership run the troop.
They take care of the many tasks necessary for troop and patrol meetings and activities to run
smoothly. By accepting the responsibilities of troop leadership, Scouts are preparing themselves
to be leaders throughout their lives.

The purpose of the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) course is to teach Scouts
with leadership positions about their new roles and the organizational and leadership skills needed
to most effectively reach success in that role.
