Wood Badge
Leadership for Scouting – Leadership for America
February 21 - 23, 2020
March 20 - 22, 2020
Wood Badge is the ultimate leadership development program for adult leaders of
the Boy Scouts of America. It has been widely recognized as Scouting’s most
advanced training program. It is a practical course designed to inspire and empower
our volunteer and professional members to achieve their individual potential and to
assist our organization in reaching its vision, mission, and goals for young people.
A Wood Badge course is designed for leaders from all areas of Scouting and its
family of programs: Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Exploring, and Sea Scouts
—and all levels of the BSA’s professional staff. Today, Wood Badge builds on all that
has come before it. Wood Badge alumni will clearly still recognize the traditions that
make this program unique, just as they will also recognize the value of the new
content that will allow for a greater understanding of our members about the world in which we live, and the how to best apply the values in which we believe as we lead and serve.
Wood Badge Participants attend a course offered as two sessions of three days each scheduled over two weekends. Leaders must apply the concepts studied and the skills learned to improving the Scouting unit, District or program in which they currently serve. This is your "ticket" to receiving the Wood Badge beads.
