The purpose of the ILST 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 troop understand their responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. ILST is the first course in the series of leadership training offered to Scouts and is a replacement for Troop Leadership Training. Completion of ILST 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.
The program is open to Eagle Scouts, under 19 years of age.
The award will be based on a theme essay by the scout.
The National Award is $10,000 for the winner, $6,000 for the 1st runner-up, and $4,000 for the 2nd runner-up.
A possible state award for the top 3 will be published later.
The state society will conduct a judging of applications in the spring of 2017, date to be announced later.
The top 3 state applications are to be forwarded to National SAR by June 1, 2017.
