Here is my question. I need to wear the right headgear for Wood Badge. What is the right headgear for Den Leaders. I hope it's not the Bear or Wolf cap. We really need to change uniforms. I have an expedition hat . Is this right or O.K. I called the Scout Master in charged of the Wood Badge course. All he said was wear what I was authorized to wear. O.K. what is that. My best friend is Cub master what is he to wear HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may save yourself a great deal of consternation over headgear by calling the Scoutmaster and/or Staff Advisor and ask "Are they going to give me a hat when I show up to Wood Badge?"

 

They usually do. It's on the list of things to bring, and often it's just one more thing the staff hands you when you check in, so they forget to mention that they're going to provide the appropriate headgear to you.

 

Has anyone here ever staffed or attended a course that didn't give participants hats? I'm just curious.

The Wood Badge courses I am familiar with have decided at their first preliminary meeting what the official course headgear would be, as well as the belt. It is good to be practical for sun protection on a long course like Wood Badge, but the Staff may have some suggestions to put into the discussion if there is one. Generally the Staff will be looking for uniformity among the course participants, so wearing whatever you want to on your own might not work out. They will have definite ideas of the goals of the course and may have other restrictions such as use of cell phones, etc. Ask ahead of time what the plan is going to be for hat and belt and whatever else (stave?shorts or long pants? special meals? )you might be worrying about so you can get there and enjoy yourself on the course.
