Rescue Guy

I just returned this evening from the second weekend of the course. The 2 weekends and the time between were fantastic. We did camp the first weekend, but that is because we were doing the program at the BS camp. The only sleeping arrangments we had were tents, but, the complete program is great!!!!! Its ticket time, but after the experence of the course, I am so charged up now, I feel beter prepared and able to do anything. Kudos to the developers and the staff of SR-456!!! If you havent considered WB, you are missing out, even the "senior" woodbadgers should look at the new one..

Ok, I have read through all of this and I am new to this forum, but I am currently attending the new Woodbadge program here in SC, in fact, I am back on Gilwell Feild at 7 am in the morning. The first weekend was last month and yes, we had classroom setting, but we also camped and completed outdoor experences. The first weekend (3 FULL Days) the staff ran the activities and taught outdoor and leadership principles. The past month was spent in "off-site" patrol meetings where we planned meals, planned and completed a patrol project, and planned a conservation project. Tomorrow we begin another

I am a Asst Cubmaster in a wonderful pack. The leaders are great and we have a super cubmaster. This year, I took the job as AC to help her out. One of the problems I am to focus on is communications. I am currently doing e mail announcments (all leaders have it!)news letter, but something is still lacking. We even have a web site, but none seem to visit. Can I get suggestions on helping comminications between Pack leaders, dens and parents?

I am in the middle of Wood badge now. I used to be a Buffalo...... In my professional career as a Firefighter/Rescue capt.. I have attended a number of leadership cources and the past 10 years have brought an oppertunity to share the knowledge and experence of leadership into a learning envronment. Wood Badge for the 21th has added to my knowledge and more importantly attitude about being a leader. I am blessed with having a Pack with humble leaders, but have heard of those who are not "so humble" WB has built an inter desire to share by example, rather than by telling.. to me, this was
