Wood Badge Training Fall 2026
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 ensure 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 of Scouting America and also draws from a wide range of courses within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory.
