What is Wood Badge?
Wood Badge is the most advanced training course offered by the Boy Scouts of America. The training course is rich in Scouting history and tradition.
Remember, the only pre-requisite to taking Wood Badge is you must have completed the basic training for your Scouting position. Space is limited, so don’t lose your chance to take advantage of this money saving opportunity
Participants will spend 5 days and 3 nights learning modern leadership theories from contemporary scholars such as Ken Blanchard (author of the One Minute Manager series of books), Stephen R. Covey (author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and Principle Centered Leadership), and Spencer Johnson (author of Who Moved My Cheese), to name a few.
How will I benefit?
- Make a positive difference in the quality of your Scouting program and the impact Scouting will hone the lives of its members.
- Be better prepared to give our youth the opportunity to live Scouting’s values to become a better citizen.
What are people saying?

- “The course gave me an opportunity to reflect on my leadership and what I am doing that is working and what I need to change.”
- “I took a lot from this course and plan to keep on learning and using this knowledge.”
