  Young brown dwarfs share many properties with directly imaged giant
extrasolar planets. They therefore provide unique laboratories for
investigating the full range of temperature and mass encompasses by the growing
collection of planets discovered outside our Solar System. Furthermore, if they
can be tied to a particular group of coeval stars, they also provide vital
anchor points for low-mass empirical isochrones. We have developed a novel
procedure for identifying such objects based on their unique 2MASS and AllWISE
colors. Using our search criteria, we have identified 50 new, late-type L dwarf
candidates, 47 of which are spectroscopically confirmed as L dwarfs with
follow-up near-infrared spectroscopy. We evaluate the potential membership of
these objects in nearby, young moving groups using their proper motions,
photometric distance estimates, and spectroscopic indicators of youth, and find
seven likely L-type members belonging to the $\beta$ Pictoris moving group, the
AB Doradus moving group, the Tucana-Horologium association, or the Argus
association, in addition to several lower probability members. Also found are
two late-type (L5 and L6) potential members of the nearby Hyades cluster (WISEA
J043642.75$+$190134.8 and WISEA J044105.56$+$213001.5).
