WOOD BADGEWood Badge is the premier training program for all Scout Leaders in the Boy Scouts of America. This includes all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity and Venturing Leaders, District and Council Committee members as well as Professional Scouters. Wood Badge is designed to train adult volunteers using the latest leadership skills and techniques. It is a once-in-a-lifetime training experience. There are two parts to Wood Badge 101: The first part consist of one week of practical experience where you have the opportunity to learn skills and concepts that underlie the five themes of Wood Badge for the 21st Century. The second part is a plan to apply what you learned in the practical course. You will create and carry out a plan of action. When that action is completed, you earn the recongnition, beads, neckerchief, and woggle that are the Wood Badge. Circle Ten Council has adopted the national training program for all adult leaders. The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America has called the program a “training continuum”, to emphasize how all parts of leader training fit together. Scouts deserve trained leaders and trained leaders deserve the best program possible. |
