WOOD BADGE COURSE OFFERING IN THE NEW YORK CITY AREA
What is Wood Badge?
Wood Badge is Scouting’s premier adult leader training program. This course has had many improvements over time since it was introduced back in 1919. Wood Badge is much like any modern corporate leadership course but it does not cost thousands, and it is fun.
This course is open to all Scouters (Adult Volunteers & Scouting Professionals) and is a 5-day over two-weekends course that is held at various Scout camps.
Why do you want to go?
You want to participate in a Wood Badge course because of things you will learn and do. Here are some of the benefits:
