What is Wood Badge?

The Wood Badge course is an internationally recognized leadership development course, with leadership skills taught that are equal to or better than any current leadership training in industry today.

The course uses indoor and outdoor settings to teach the essentials of leadership. You will learn what makes leadership work and how to make it work for you and your unit. You will learn to apply those skills to help your unit function more effectively as a team. You will become a better manager by practicing these skills. Finally you will have the opportunity to state your goals as a leader (your “Ticket”) and put into motion a plan to achieve these goals.

The positive influence of this course is unparalleled and is applicable to our every day lives in our units, at home, and at work.

You must attend both weekends of the course to complete Wood Badge.
