Now that you have completed your position-specific training for your Scouting role, it's time to take your knowledge to the next level. Wood Badge is a 6-day advanced leadership training course. Traditionally held over two separate weekends in April or May, in 2024 the course will be a solid five days starting on Wednesday and ending on Sunday. Wood Badge offers leadership skills training that benefits your unit and all of Scouting, increases personal confidence, and forms an enhanced social and professional network. 

Private corporations pay thousands for the Wood Badge course content to be presented at a business conference. Scouters pay a fraction of the corporate price for 6 days of food, fellowship, camping, and a ton of fun. Unleash your inner child as you form patrols, build rockets, sing songs, play games, and enjoy late-summer weekends at Fire Mountain.

The course is limited to 48 participants. Course dates are September 25th 7AM - Sept 29th 4:30PM.
