Wood Badge is a supplemental training program for Adult Leaders in the BSA. It is intended to increase leadership skills for Leaders in all parts of the Scouting program. It has been developed for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing Leaders, as well as council and district leaders. Its focus is on leadership, not out-of-door skills.
The Wood Badge program consists of two parts - practical training and application. The practical leadership experience is gained in a training setting where leadership skills can be learned and practiced. At the conclusion of the practical training, each participant makes a commitment to complete a set of personal goals related to their Scouting position. In this way, the Wood Badge experience contributes to a stronger unit, district and council, as well as providing an opportunity to practice the leadership skills learned on the course.
The Course is offered in the Spring. It will be conducted over 2 three-day weekends at Camp Lassen, spaces are limited to 48, so sign up early to guarantee a spot! Applications will be available in the Winter.
