The Northern Star Council is planning to offer 3 Wood Badge courses in the winter, spring and fall of 2010.Fall course dates will be September 10-12 and October 1-3.
Grey Wolf National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)
There will be 5 sessions of Grey Wolf training at Fred C. Andersen Scout Camp in the summer of 2010. With National Jamboree scheduled in late summer, Grey Wolf Course #3 and Course #4 will run during the week preceding and following Independence Day, rather than taking a break that week. In this way, all NYLT courses will be completed prior to Jamboree start.
Nomination forms will be mailed early January. Nominations for participation will be due no later than April 15, 2010. *Again this year* Nominations MUST have names included.
