8. What is ILT? Who can attend?
Vision: is to Strengthen Scouting in our Region and our respective National Scouting Organizations (NSO) through a collaborative effort of sharing, networking and support.
What/When: 6 day course, late December/Early January
Intended Audience: Age 18-26, selections made by each NSO, 2 participants per NSO

9. When did it begin and why?
In 2013 in Houston - Texas delivered the first Interamerican Leadership Training with 68 participants from every National Scouting Organization (NSO) in the Interamerican Region.
ILT is intended to help build capacity in the region by training emerging leaders in leadership skills that would enable them to become more effective leaders within their NSO

Discuss syllabus creation and evolution over the past 2 years
The experience, how we teach
Conducting a leadership training course in a multicultural, multi-lingual environment where participants are placed into teams from different NSOs, other than their own, gives the participants a unique experience that cannot be gleaned from reading the syllabus or reviewing the topics taught.

11. Stats 343 participants since 2013
18 NSO have developed their Leadership course
11 NSO have executed up to two leadership courses
4 NSO have executed more than two leadership courses
Other Regions around WOSM have sent participants to ILT who have returned to their NSOs and initiated their own leadership training courses
