    What happens when you finish your Wood Badge ticket but are not beaded?

    Thanks for those who responded. No progress on my end. Can't imagine that I am the first to finish Wood Badge and ticket, and not get the beads, etc.    I will worry about all that later.  Perhaps in a couple month I will try to get a training completion certificate or whatever is used to document I completed the course and ticket.   If I ever change councils and still want beads, I can probably find some somewhere.

    I am glad I went to Wood Badge, wish I would have gone years ago (20 year leader)

    Finished my ticket last month.  My Troop Guide would appear to prefer me to beaded at a Troop Court of Honor to reinforce Wood Badge.  I agree, but I am not a member of a troop (District Member at Large, and I am new to this District and Council). 

    If I joined a local troop, it would be awkward for me to have my beading a part of Court of Honor.  I think I would wait until I was a known, established entity (that would take months or longer).  And what if I were to join the troop, but then later discover its program wasn't for me or time/circumstances prevented significant participation? I would look selfish and silly.
     
    Same for a District or Council event, if that is even possible. 
     
    Suggestions?  This Council heavily promotes Wood Badge and I sometimes think I am the only one at District and Council events not wearing beads. On the other hand, I am a scout leader so I can work with scouts, not focus on my own uniform.  Am I overthinking the importance of wearing Wood Badge beads.
