Wood Badge The premier advanced hands-on leadership skills experience offered to adult volunteers of the Boy Scouts of America. Started by Sir Robert S. Baden Powell, Wood Badge's primary purpose is to strengthen Scouting in our units, districts, and local council. The course allows Scouters of all backgrounds to extend their understanding of the youth they lead, the adults they work with, and new levels of personal growth and learning. Open to all registered adult Scouters who have completed the basic training requirements for their primary Scouting position -no minimum years of experience. In fact, the earlier in your Scouting career that you attend Wood Badge, the sooner you can put those leadership skills to work, delivering the best Scouting program to the youth you serve. The course size is limited to only 48 participants and spaces fill up quickly.
