You go to Wood Badge to improve your leadership of small groups, and your understanding of

how teams develop. The heart of Wood Badge is small group leadership. It is great fun too. This

training is not only for Scouting. It also helps people at work, in church, with other groups, and

in families.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND WOOD BADGE?

You may attend Wood Badge if you are registered as an adult in the Boy Scouts of America,

trained for your position, and medically able to handle the program.

Scouters who attended an earlier version of Wood Badge are welcome to come again, with the

understanding that you will participate fully and work your ticket. Talk with the course director

about the special requirements for you.

TENURE

You do not have to have been a Scout leader for any minimum number of years.

TRAINED

If you are eligible to wear a "Trained" patch, that meets this requirement. That means outdoor

skills are required for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters, and Varsity coaches, but not for

others. If you have questions about this, call the course director.

MEDICAL

The course includes some walking around the camp. The second half of the course involves

camping out, but it is in the camp, not hiking into the wilderness. If you are medically unable to

do it (or it would be unwise), talk to the course director. ALL participants must turn in the BSA

"Medical and Health Record" form, which can be downloaded online or picked up in the Scout

Office.
