Frazier, Jr. Scout Reservation (Camp Crooked Creek) All Day April 17 & 18 – Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation BOTH WEEKENDS REQUIRED FOR THE COURSE What is Wood Badge? Wood Badge is the most advanced adult leader training available. A Scouter participating in Wood Badge has the opportunity to understand Scouting as a family of interrelated, values-based programs providing age-appropriate activities for youth. It recognizes contemporary leadership concepts and will help the participant discover how they are relevant to the Scouting movement and how to apply skills learned as a member of a successful working team. The course will revitalize the participants’ commitment to Scouting by sharing in an inspirational experience that provides Scouting with renewed leadership, resulting in greater youth retention. Many Scouters consider Wood Badge to be a peak experience of their Scouting careers. Sir Robert S.S. Baden-Powell began Wood Badge in 1919 and this course celebrates what has grown to be the premiere adult leader training experience envisioned by Scouting’s founder all those years ago. Who may attend Wood Badge? Wood Badge is for all leaders in the Boy Scouts of America over the age of 18. It has been developed for unit committee, Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing leaders, as well as council and district leaders. The course content and leadership principles apply to Scouters of all leadership positions and will provide a common foundation of leadership skills to be used throughout all program areas.
