WOOD BADGE 2023
You put the Outing back into Scouting!

Thank you for talking to us even if wood badge doesn't work for you right now.
I took this course back in 2007 and it renewed my commitment as well as helped me to become a better leader in all areas of my life.
Woodbadge is probably why I am still involved in scouting now even after both my sons achieved Eagle rank and are now 27 and 31 years old.
Scouting molds and changes lives, scouting connections last a lifetime.

There still is time...
We needed a certain number of registered participants to be able to conduct this training. We met that number and now have additional seats available. We would love for you to join in the fun and network with other scouters to help you deliver the best program for your youth.
Registration cutoff is August 14th

What are the dates? 
August 26-28 and Sept 23-24 (Its a 5 day course split over two weekends)

Who can attend?
Any registered scouter, committee, district and council member. 
You need not be a veteran experienced scouter. 
Be the one.
Come see why so many wood badgers light up when you ask them about this course.
