 National
Lodge Adviser Training Seminar
The National Lodge Adviser Training Seminar (NLATS) is a weekend conference
focusing on the skills and attributes of effective lodge advisers. It is intended
primarily to enhance an adviser's knowledge of and connectivity with the OA's
strategic plan, program and resources, while emphasizing personal skills that
are essential to the development of effective youth leadership and ultimately
the OA's service to the council.
It is recommended that participants be lodge advisers or staff advisers and
those with lodge adviser potential, as approved by the local council Scout executive.
Prior completion of a Lodge Leadership Development program and the National
Leadership Seminar are desirable. The NLATS is an intensive experience in learning
about the nature of lodge program, delivery of service to the council, and development
of youth leadership necessary to both. While it is designed to be fun, the course
is mentally challenging as well. Participants should be open to learning and
prepared to actively engage in an invigorating weekend.
The NLATS program provides key advisers with information on such areas as:
- The Lodge as an Integral Part of the Council
- Key 3 Relations
- Youth Development
- Mentoring and Motivating Youth
- Meeting the Needs of Youth
- Building & Maintaining Trust and Relationships
- Lodge Finances
- New Member Support and Retention
- Quality Lodge Attainment
- Successful Lodge Operations
- OA History and Traditions
- Lodge Communications
- Lodge and Chapter Workings
- The Adviser's Proper Role
- National and Regional BSA/OA Program Areas of Emphasis
