Wood Badge is considered by many as a peak experience in their Scouting careers. It is a great opportunity for new Scouters and longtime leaders!

Wood Badge training offers a unique opportunity for learning and for leadership. Participants live and work together in a patrol with other Scouters, while they learn about the skills of leadership. The skills of Wood Badge will help you in your personal and professional life along with Scouting! 

“Wood Badge made me a better leader, co-worker and parent”

The course content benefits Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Explorer leaders as well as council and district leaders.
