Training - Wood Badge 2010 Posted Jan. 20, 2010
Baden-Powell took the first steps in training Scouting's adult leaders by organizing a series of lectures. The first Wood Badge training was held in 1919 at Gilwell Park, near London. Since then, Wood Badge has continued to evolve to meet Scouting's needs. Wood Badge for the 21st Century focuses on preparing adults to deliver the mission of Scouting.

Wood Badge is designed for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturing, Sea Scout, and Varsity Leaders at the unit level, as well as District and Council Leaders. The course content and principles introduced apply to Scouters in all leadership positions. AND YOU WILL HAVE FUN.

The 2010 course will be held at Camp Sequassen over six days, August 27-28-29 and September 24-25-26.
