PROPOSED NEW WOOD BADGE COURSE SYLLABUS BASED ON WOSM’S WOOD BADGE FRAMEWORK World Scout Bureau • Education, Research and Development • March 2012

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

The BSP Training Scheme for Unit Leaders, especially the Advanced Training Course (Wood Badge) shall adopt the Wood Badge Framework as provided in the WOSM’s Wood Badge Framework (WSB, 2012) as viewed by the founder Baden Powell himself “The Wood Badge will make quite certain that when I am gone, the future leaders of Scouting will really understand what it is all about and what my intentions have been”.

The purpose of Wood Badge framework is to strengthen the sense of unity within movement through sharing of purpose, principles and method of Scouting and the belonging to a world brotherhood of adults serving young people; it harmonizes training principles covering the eight (8) basic learning areas including (i) Quality Youth Programme; (ii) Fundamentals of Scouting; (iii) Scout Method; (iv) Leadership Excellence; (v) Management Competencies; (vi) Communications and Public Relations; (vii) Wood Badge Training Tradition; and (viii) Course Standard and Training Policy.

The framework shall enable BSP Advanced Training Course to calibrate itself to the unified system of Training for Adults in Scouting, specifically the Wood Badge Course, in compliance with the recommendation of the WOSM-GSAT and SGS Audit, thereby including the Adults in Scouting Dimension be at the standard of WOSM Framework including the topics on Safety & Risk Management and Keeping Scouts Safe from Harm.

As provided in the WOSM Wood Badge Framework:

The “Wood Badge” is the sign of recognition granted to all Adults in Scouting who satisfied the training criteria required on the “Wood Badge” training. This means that this training is not only reserved for leaders in charge of youth, but that any adult in Scouting (with uniform) may apply for such training. Details of the criteria are the responsibility of each National Scout Organization. WOSM’s framework defines the following general guidance:

1. The “Wood Badge” training must be completed within a reasonable period not exceeding three years from the time the adult undertakes in its course and the end of his training.

2. The “Wood Badge” training is an advanced level of the training offered to the adults in Scouting.

3. It assumes that the candidate has satisfactory knowledge and good practice of Scouting experience. The conditions and procedures for the validation of this experience and knowledge must be communicated to all adults. Special attention should be given to factual elements and the time required, avoiding any arbitrary procedure in the process.

4. The “Wood Badge” training is a construction of learning’s based on the combination of theoretical contributions, analyses and experiments related to situations and challenges faced by adults on the field. A practical phase of implementation of the acquired learning’s, with supervision and validation of a qualified person, or a tutor, will complement “Wood Badge” training.

5. The “Wood Badge” training must be adapted to be offered to all adults who wish to be trained. To do this, it must be flexible and sufficiently diverse. All the modalities of its implementation should be explored by the National Scout Organizations, according to their means and their capabilities: “residential training”, “modular training”, “eLearning and face-to-face training”, etc. are a few possibilities that can be combined, others can be also implemented.

6. “Wood Badge” training, whatever the terms for its implementation, will include Educational Elements of the Scout Method, namely: a. Adherence to Scout Oath and Law; b. Learning by doing, learning through play and service; c. Reinforcing personal learning through Team System; d. Exploring “Nature and Environment” as elementary needs for human being; e. Opportunity for Personal Progression through educational activities and objectives; f. Adult Support through privileged relationship with the trainers, as learning process facilitators, g. Finally, to be as specific training the Scouting’s Symbolic Framework in general and the Wood Badge symbolism need to be used.

The “Wood Badge” training program should cover all eight learning areas:

1. Youth Programme - is the totality of the learning opportunities in Scouting from which young people can benefit (’What’), deliberately created to achieve the purpose of Scouting (’Why’) and experienced through the Scout Method (’How’);

2. Fundamentals of Scouting, which covers the Aim, Principles and Scout Method, the adaptation of the Method according to sections, organization and structures, etc;

3. Scout Method – is a system of progressive self-education through the following interrelated educational elements: Adherence to the Scout Oath & Law; Learning by Doing; Team System; Symbolic Framework; Personal Progression; Life in Nature and Stimulating Adult Support;

4. Leadership Excellence – this refers to knowledge and capabilities to assume duties and responsibilities and influence other people to produce positive impact within the Movement.

5. Management Competence – this means the knowledge and expertise in program planning, events organizing, controlling and managing units, groups or larger structures.

6. Communications and Public Relations – this is understood in its broadest sense: way to get in touch with the others in the community and to maintain an efficient relationship, to include but are not limited to Scouting Profile, Image Building, Reaching Out, Partnerships, Message, Marketing Scouting and alike;

7. Wood Badge Training Traditions – this covers rich historical significance of the Wood Badge training, its values, norms, customs, practices that promotes World Brotherhood, Humility, Unity and Equality;

8. Course Standard and Training Policy – this refers to adherence to set of rules and regulations adopted in the conduct of Wood Badge training and its course administration.
