Wood Badge C1-173-12

Jan 20, 2010 -

Wood Badge Course C1-173-12

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.

This is a unique "Cluster Course" that is being hosted by the Winnebago Council, but will offered to six surrounding councils, and will take place at Camp Wakonda. If you were thinking about Wood Badge and missed the course offered in Hawkeye Area Council in 2011, this is a great opportunity to participate in a unique course, with staff members from all six councils.

The Winnebago Council “Sunday Friendly” Course Dates and Location are as follows:

Pre-Course Gathering: March 2012 – Date and location to be determined. (This is an informational gathering: Attendance is highly recommended, but not required).
Course Session #1 - Thursday – Saturday, April 12-14, 2012
Course Session #2 - Thursday – Saturday, April 26-28, 2012
You must attend both Sessions #1 & #2 to complete the course and be certified.

Course Location:

Howard Cherry Scout Reservation - Boy Scout Camp Wakonda, Central City, IA
