Woodbadge 2010

Mark your calendars for August 27-29 and September 17-19, 2010. Click below for the information brochure and sign up form.

What is Woodbadge: In 1911, Lord Baden-Powell began training Scouting's adult leaders by organizing a series of lectures. In 1919, these lectures became the basis of Woodbadge. The primary purpose of Woodbadge has always been to strengthen Scouting in our units, districts, and local councils. Woodbadge for the 21st Century has been developed for Cub Scout, Boy Scouts, Varsity, Exploring, and Venturing leaders, as well as district and council level volunteers. Its focus is on leadership skills rather than outdoor skills. It has become one of the highest level of Scout leader training offered in local councils.
