Introduction
This toolkit was created with the purpose of assisting lodges and sections in promoting the National Leadership Seminar (NLS) and Developing Youth Leadership Conference (DYLC). Feel free to adapt messages to best suit your audience or even create your own NLS & DYLC promotional content.
What are NLS and DYLC?
The National Leadership Seminar and the Developing Youth Leadership Conference are the premier leadership training programs within the Order of the Arrow. The National Leadership Seminar focuses on enhancing the leadership skills of key youth leaders and adult members to become better leaders inside Scouting and within the greater community. The Developing Youth Leadership Conference focuses on growing the skills and knowledge of adult advisers to develop youth leadership at all levels.
General Information
We highly encourage using any means that your lodge or section has available to promote this event amongst your membership. To encourage this, we have provided a few social media posts, captions, and email templates that you can use on your own platforms. Social media posts can be adapted to any platform but are specifically intended for Facebook and Instagram. Captions and email templates can also be easily adjusted to best target your intended audience. The official hashtag for NLS and DYLC are #OA #BSA #CR #NLS #DYLC #WritingOurNextChapter.

Just fill in your name in the signature, double-check the links, and you are good to send to any and all Arrowmen!
