The National Leadership Seminar (NLS) and the Developing Youth Leadership Conference (DYLC) are designed to give you the tools, confidence, and network to lead effectively in the Order of the Arrow and beyond.
The Gateway Region is bringing these premier training courses to the Seattle, WA area on March 27-29, 2026! This will be the closest opportunity for our lodge for two years.
About NLS & DYLC
National Leadership Seminar
A weekend-long training program focused on the skills and attributes of leadership. You’ll receive an in-depth look at techniques you can apply to your OA role, school, and future career. NLS is taught by a high-energy team of national, region, and section officers.
Developing Youth Leadership Conference
Specifically for adults, this conference focuses on the tools needed to mentor and empower our youth leaders. Learn how to guide youth toward success while allowing them to lead the charge.
Completion of NLS is recommended, but not required.
Cost
The lodge believes every lodge or chapter leader should have the opportunity to attend NLS. To help, the lodge will be providing a significant scholarship to those Arrowman who attend – both youth and adults!
Youth will only pay $50 and adults $100 to attend this course (normally, $275). Scholarships are limited so, sign up early!
