Lilah is a leader. She is a leader in her school, her Venture Crew, and on the Venturing Officers Association. She leads the groups she is a part of, and she demonstrates leadership at all times. Lilah is a leader, and her leadership skills have grown because of Scouting.
Lilah began her Scouting adventure when she joined Venture Crew 25 in Canton in September 2016. There she learned basic leadership skills and held various leadership positions. Then last summer, she had the opportunity to participate in National Youth Leadership Training - and will be the Senior Patrol Leader for NYLT 2019 Course 2! This week-long program educates youth on advanced leadership skills in individual and team-based environments that stretch and challenge their abilities.
Key skills that Lilah learned through NYLT and Scouting include effective communication, the confidence and ability to engage in public speaking., and the value of leading with a positive attitude. Those skills have now been applied in Lilah's daily life as she continues to grow and to lead others.
