Thank you for your question. We very often ASSUME that everyone on the net
understands our "initial and titling" and of course that is not true.
...used to be... Is a phrase from our Woodbadge program (advanced adult
leader training); of which there are Boy Scout leader woodbadge; Cub Scout
TRAINERS woodbadge; there is also LDS Woodbadge; we held Varsity Woodbadge
at least once that I know about; and have also held Explorer Woodbadge.
See our publication, The History of Woodbadge" for a more complte
understanding. The 'critters' listed and the year stand for:
critter - name of your WOODBADGE patrol or den
number - region, chronological number, of the woodbadge course.
Thus -- my CS Trainers woodbadge number is EC-CS-02 - meaning:
EC = East Central (the past name of our Scouting region)
CS = Cub Scout (trainers woodbadge)
02 - 2nd course held.
Ny 'critter' for the above is Antelope (my den name).
My BS woodbadge number if EC215W - meaning:
EC = East Central region
215 = 215th course held
W = weekend course (as opposed to a week long, which my CS woodbadge was).
My 'critter' for BS Woodbadge is Eagle (my patrol name).
Hope this helps. I highly recommend the History of Woodbadge book, it is
really chuck full of interesting info!
