mdlscouting 10 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Congratulations, I hope you have a great time. Keep an open mind, and remember that there is often an unseen reason behind a lot of the things, even the ones that might seem frustrating at the time. Link to post Share on other sites
scouts-a-lot 10 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Good luck and have fun. Be prepared to get a lot of information in a short amount of time. Sleep when you can! Link to post Share on other sites
Unkiewill 10 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 My first weekend is coming up the same weekend. I am really looking forward to it, I have talked to people who have done it and everyone says that it is a great experience. Link to post Share on other sites
catdaddyxx 10 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Enjoy yourself and don't take anything you get to experience for granted. I've been looking forward to woodbadge for a year only to find out 30 days before weekend one that the entire course wasn't going to make. Link to post Share on other sites
BDPT00 41 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Unkiewill and johnponz, Same course? What state? Start date seems a little odd, but I'm sure it must work for where you are. BDPT00 Link to post Share on other sites

BDPT00 41 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 "There is 9 wood badge courses that start this weekend in the central region alone...." So ... this must be in an attempt to finish the courses before camporees and conclaves. I guess that makes sense. BDPT00 Link to post Share on other sites

SSScout 1512 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 You have been counseled in what equipment and oersonal gear to bring. But remember to take the REAL essentials with you: * Duct tape. * Extra rope. * A silly hat (pursuent to your PL request) * Modern Scout Manual. * Old Scout Manual or Fieldbook for comparasion. * Tarp (it will be far too big, or too small, or not needed. You predict). * A happy, expectant attitude. * A mug for coffee/etc. Thus being ecologically sound, eliminating the need for throw away styrofoam or paper. * Carabiner to clip cup to belt for ready access. * Our best wishes for a fun, successful WB!

Unkiewill 10 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I got back from my first weekend a few hours ago, it was a great time. They were not kidding when they told us that we would not have much free time. It was a very full three days. The group of people in my patrol are really great and we gelled very quickly. It should be a great experience. Any fellow Antelopes out here? Link to post Share on other sites
