Now take that training and add fun, practical methods to bring it home, making it real for you and your team.

Participant cost is $350. Scholarships are available for a limited time, ask within your home council immediately. Send us emails with any questions to help you complete your registration. 

Wood Badge is a premier training which is designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of all Scouters, particularly unit level scouters, such as cub leaders, scoutmasters and assistants, venturing crew advisors, committee chairs and members.  

Additionally, scouters serving at the district and council levels can achieve greater effectiveness through Wood Badge.

By taking Woodbadge, Scouters will acquire valuable tools such as listening, communicating, conflict management, project planning, and leading change.  Scouters 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. Reserve your spot today by registering today. The last course filled up and we expect this course to do the same.
