What is Wood Badge?

Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, Wood Badge draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles, and successful organizations throughout the country. Wood Badge training was begun by Baden Powell in 1919 as a way to ensure that the leaders of Scout troops were properly trained. Since then, Wood Badge has been held worldwide, providing advanced leadership training to thousands of Scout leaders. Wood Badge builds upon the best traditions and experiences of the Boy Scouts of America and also draws from a wide range of courses within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory and team development.



Who should attend Wood Badge?

ALL SCOUTERS ARE WELCOME, regardless of scouting experience. Wood Badge is designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of all Scouters.

As we celebrate Independence Day, we honor the values of freedom, bravery, and community that our nation was built on. Our Scouts embody these principles every day through their dedication, service, and adventures.

Please note that our office will be closed on July 4th in observance of the holiday. We hope you all have a safe and joyous celebration filled with fireworks, family, and fun!

Happy Fourth of July!

🚫 No Roundtable Tonight! 🚫

Just a quick reminder that there will be no roundtable meeting tonight. We look forward to seeing you all on August 7th at 7 PM. Mark your calendars and join us then for our next gathering!

Stay safe and enjoy your evening!

😂 Happy International Joke Day! 😂

Scouting isn’t just about adventure and learning—it’s also about having a good laugh! To celebrate International Joke Day, we’re sharing some of our favorite Scout jokes. Share yours in the comments and let’s keep the laughs rolling!

Q: What’s a Scout’s favorite type of candy?
A: Trail mix!

Q: Why did the Scout bring a ladder to camp?
A: Because he heard the s’mores were on the house!

Keep smiling and stay Scouty! 🏕️😄
