WOOD BADGE
Wood 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 once in a life time training experience.
There are two parts
to Wood Badge 87 course: The first part consists 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 complete, you earn the recognition, beads, neckerchief, and
woggle that are the Wood Badge.
Circle Ten Council
has adopted the national training program for all adult leaders.
National Council of Boy Scouts of America has called
the program a "training continuum," to emphasize how all the
parts of leader training fit together
Scouts deserve trained
leaders and trained leaders deserve the best program possible.
