2022 Wood Badge Course

The 2022 Palmetto Council Wood Badge Course will be held over 2 weekends (September 16-18, 2022 & October 8-9, 2022) at Camp Bud Schiele in Rutherfordton, NC. You must attend both weekends. The fee for the course is $250 for participants and $100 for staff. A $100 deposit is due to register for the course. Due to a training grant that has been received, leaders will only have to pay the $100 deposit and your deposit will be refunded upon completion of the course.

Wood Badge has been developed for ALL Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing leaders, as well as council and district leaders.
