What is Wood Badge?
Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, Wood Badge
draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles and
successful organizations throughout the country.
Wood Badge training was begun by Baden Powell in 1919 as a way to insure that the leaders of Scout
troops were properly trained. Since then Wood Badge has been held worldwide, providing advanced
leadership training to thousands of Scout leaders.
Wood Badge builds upon the best traditions and experiences of the Boy Scouts of America and also
draws from a wide range of courses within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest
in leadership theory and team development.
Who Should Attend?
Wood Badge is designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of all Scouters, particularly unit
level Scouters, such as Den Leaders, Cubmasters and assistants, Scoutmasters and assistants, and
Committee Chairs and members.Additionally Scouters serving at the district and council levels can achieve greater effectiveness
through Wood Badge.
Why Attend?
By taking Wood Badge, Scouters will acquire valuable tools such as listening, communicating,
conflict management, project planning and leading change. Participants will better learn to
understand and appreciate diversity and differences in our society.
They will learn skills that will make them a better Scout leader. Units with trained leaders are
able to deliver an improved program and a more meaningful experience for the youth Scouting serves.
