What Takes Place?
Participants in Wood Badge for the 21st Century will attend a six-day course. The course is consists of one orientation day and two sessions of three days each.
Course attendees begin their Wood Badge experience as Cub Scouts, then bridge into Boy Scouting and form as a patrol for the balance of the course. Selected staff members are designated as troop guides to work with the patrol during the course and during the patrol’s interim patrol meetings held between the two weekend sessions.

Wood Badge is an advanced training course designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of all Scouters, and to revitalize their commitment to fulfill the vision & mission of Scouting for the youth that they serve.
