Volunteers expect fun and fellowship at a Wood Badge course, but much more awaits. This training session helps adults lead more successful packs, troops and crews and gives meaning to your time spent in Scouting.
Wood Badge is expertly designed to take you on a guided tour through the entire Scouting program. Afterwards, you'll be recharged and ready to tackle any problem Scouts throw your way.
The next course is Aug. 12-14 and Aug. 26-28 at Beaumont Scout Reservation. A pre-course meeting is scheduled for July 9. Register today!
