Wood Badge C1-173-12 1st Weekend

4/12/12 - 4/14/12

What is Wood Badge and why should I attend this Training?

 
Wood Badge was originally presented by Lord Baden-Powell as a means of strengthening and preserving the Scouting movement throughout the world. Since its inauguration in the United States in 1948, thousands of Scouter’s have attended Wood Badge and have considered it a mountaintop experience in their Scouting careers.
 
Today, Wood Badge courses provide advanced leadership development. The objective of Wood Badge is to demonstrate in a practical way the "aims and methods" of Scouting and to develop Scout spirit through a program of learning sessions and activities. During the course, you will live Scouting and be exposed to the application of leadership and Scouting skills as they are applied in the development of leaders and youth. This training will help you not only in Scouting but also in your careers, your church and other group situations you are involved with.
 
But more importantly, during your Wood Badge experience, you will create lasting relationships with other Scouter’s.

  • Pre-Course Gathering: March 2012 – Date and location to be determined. (This is an informational gathering: Attendance is highly recommended, but not required).
