In 1911, Baden-Powell took the first steps in training Scouting’s adult leaders by organizing a series of lectures for  Scouters.  He made great strides in the years that followed, culminating in 1919 with the establishment of Wood Badge training. Wood Badge recipients now number more than a hundred thousand, and can be found in all corners of the world.

The objective of a Wood Badge course is to demonstrate as practically as possible the aims and methods of Scouting. Five days (two weekends) in duration, the course is a multi-faceted presentation of leadership skills, organizational tools, and participatory activities based on the best of Scouting traditions and the latest of team-development theory. In addition, participants will enjoy the fellowship of learning alongside many other volunteer and along the way will have a great deal of fun.

his will be a tremendous opportunity for you to:

  • Understand Scouting as a family of interrelated, values-based  programs  providing  age-appropriate activities for youth.
  • Recognize contemporary leadership concepts  utilized  in  corporate  America  and  in  leading government organizations, and discover how those concepts that is relevant to our values-based movement.
