During this last year and a half, we have seen a lot of challenges that has made Scouting a little harder. To help with those challenges Wood Badge can give you the opportunity to:
• Find a new Spark in Scouting
• Renew the FUN in Scouting
• Learn tools that will help make your volunteer work in Scouting easier.
• Help you plan and focus on the things you are already do in Scouting in a more meaningful way.
WHY ATTEND?
By taking Wood Badge, Scouters will acquire valuable tools such as listening, communicating, conflict management, project planning and leading change. Participants will better learn to understand and appreciate diversity and differences in our society. They will learn skills that will make them a better Scout leader. Units with trained leaders are able to deliver an improved program and a more meaningful experience for the youth Scouting serves.
WHAT IS WOOD BADGE?
Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, Wood Badge draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles and successful organizations throughout the country. Wood Badge training was begun by Baden Powell in 1919 as a way to ensure that the leaders of Scout troops were properly trained. Since then Wood Badge has been held worldwide, providing advanced leadership training to thousands of Scout leaders. Wood Badge builds upon the best traditions and experiences of the Boy Scouts of America and also draws from a wide range of courses within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory and team development.
