WOOD BADGE FOR THE 21st CENTURY

 

Wood Badge brings together leaders from all areas of Scouting -- Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing -- and all levels of BSA professional staff. Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, the course also draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, in academic circles, and by successful outdoor leadership organizations throughout the country. The focus is on leadership skills, group dynamics and Scouting methods, all of which you will utilize in your Scouting job.
