What exactly is taught in Wood Badge?
Wood Badge has always taught leadership skills. Wood Badge focuses on contemporary leadership skills and issues, integrated with Scouting’s value-based philosophy. A variety of learning opportunities including lecture, demonstration, group discussion and hands-on exercise offer participants insight into contemporary leadership theory, while providing them with specific skills that they can put to use immediately in their units. Many participants have found that they can apply what they have learned in their personal and business lives as well. While learning is the primary goal of Wood Badge, fun is also an important component.

Cost:
The course fee for the 2023 Wood Badge course is $300.00 which covers all instructional materials and all food for the two weekends (except two meals during the second weekend that are furnished by the patrols). In addition, each participant will receive 3 course shirts, cap, and training neckerchief. The fee also includes the Wood Badge training award that is presented following completion of the Wood Badge ticket. A fee deposit of $150.00 is due with the course online application, and the balance of the course fee is due by July 17, 2023.   Note that scholarships are available if needed.

Course Prerequisites:  
Trained for your current position, currently registered as member of BSA at Council, District, or Unit level.

Advanced Preparation: 

Participants will be emailed in early July 2023 with important information that will help them prepare for the course. This correspondence will include an equipment list, a personal resource survey, and other important information. 

Attendance to the Pre-course Orientation is highly recommended to allow for pre-registration, medical check, tour of facility, review equipment list, meet the staff, and get any questions answered you might have.  Attending the Pre-course Orientation will significantly help reduce registration time during weekend #1 so please make plans to attend.

Health and Safety: 
The Wood Badge course will be conducted in compliance with the Guide to Safe Scouting. Each participant must have a current medical form (Parts A, B & C) before he or she can attend Wood Badge and must be able to function safely in an outdoor environment. There will be a staff medical officer who will administer first aid and assist with any medical issues that may arise.

If you have questions: You may contact the Course Director, Jeff Buck at 615-525-5332.  In addition, you can call the Wood Badge Staff Adviser, Jeremy Belk at 931-252-5306.

PLEASE NOTE:  Registering for this training does NOT guarantee that you will be selected to attend.  You must meet all membership and training requirements as stated above.  If you are not selected, you will receive notice from Council along with a full refund of any fees paid.
