Wood Badge is an advanced, national leadership course open only to Scouting volunteers and professionals.

Scouters from Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Explorers, and district and council Scouters all are welcome and belong here.

Why do you want to go?

You want to participate in a Wood Badge course because of things you will learn and do. Here are some of the benefits:

Stronger units. You will make your Scouting unit — and your sons’ and daughters’ units — stronger.

What and why of Scouting. You will have a deeper understanding of what Scouting is and why we do it.

Experience. You will learn and experience things that will stay with you in Scouting and the rest of your life.

Fun. You will have fun and you will meet interesting people.

Other groups. You will make your other groups, like work, church, even family, stronger.
