Long Answer. In a weird spooky voice say, Abbara Cadabera, and click THIS LINK.

Short Answer.Wood Badge is the BSA’s premiere leadership training. It is divided into 2 parts. The practical phase, is covered over two 3-day weekends. The application phase, immediately follows and consists of you setting some goals to take what you have learned back to the local program that you love and are already committed to!

Better Answer. Wood Badge is fun. Wood Badge is magic. Wood Badge is unique. It will help you to be a better leader. It will help you to be more effective as you Deliver the Promise, to the youth you are already so dedicated to. Consider this testimony from a previous participant, I have had BSA trainings that taught me how to camp, hike and tie knots. I have also had them that explained the why behind scouting techniques, but Wood Badge was the one for me that put the heart into it.

21st Century Wood Badge is for ALL Scout leaders in the Boy Scouts of America. This includes all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity and Venturing leaders, as well as professional scouters. In other words, if you are registered, then Wood Badge is for you!!!

SO.........
IF you are a Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, Cubmaster or any other position that works directly with youth you should go! (Every boy and girl deserve a trained leader!)
IF you are a committee member you should go! (This training is about leadership, not camping skills.)
IFyou are registered, but do not really know where you fit in or what your job is, then you should go! (You will leave that sixth day of WB with focus and confidence!)
EVEN IF you are a parent who is not a registered scouter, Wood Badge is for you! (OK, you WILL have to register, but what are you waiting for? Get involved!)

Have you noticed that if you place something high enough on your priority list, somehow the time appears? We have all experienced this magic! Take this challenge...... Decide to go. Start figuring out how to get the money and check the calendar. Maybe spring really won’t work, how about the fall? Before you know it, you will be proudly wearing those little wooden beads around your neck, and sharing everything you have learned with your home unit, your family, your friends and your co-workers.

No one is implying that you are really not that busy or that you are not already giving enough of your time to Scouting. In fact, the more overextended you are, the more you will benefit from the skills you learn and the focus you develop in those two, oh so fun, weekends!

Wood Badge is leadership training. You will camp, but it is not about camping and as staff, we will do everything in our power to help you make this a positive experience. Also, keep in mind that camp George Thomas has brand new heated showers and flush toilets!

Step out of your comfort zone just a little and we promise the rewards will be worth it! What a great example you will be setting for the kids who are looking up to you. Send the message to them that you are willing to do what it takes to be the best leader you can be for them because they deserve it!

Have you checked with your committee about a scholarship? If your unit has not traditionally offered this, perhaps it is only because they haven’t been approached? Also, consider applying to the Wood Badge scholarship fund directly. This fund offers a limited amount of money, raised by Wood Badgers who want to ensure that the opportunity be available to all dedicated scouters.

OK, to start with you will need some pre-requisite trainings (Not that many!), a physical (You have been meaning to do that anyway, right?), a uniform (Borrow one!), personal items (Easy!), and some camping gear (Again, borrow what you need!)

In addition, you will need an open mind (You never know what might fall in!), a willing spirit (We can lead a horse to water.........), and a great big smile ( We’ll help with this one! )
