The Wood Badge Experience
There are two parts to Wood Badge in the Boy
Scouts of America; the practical part and the
application period.
Both must be completed to
receive the Wood Badge-two wooden beads to be
worn around the neck on a leather thong.
The practical part is a six day experience to
demonstrate as practically as possible the aims and
methods of Scouting. The course is a multifaceted
presentation of leadership skills, organizational tools,
and participatory activities based on the best
Scouting
traditions
and
the
latest
in
team
development theory.
Participants will enjoy the
fellowship of learning alongside many other
Scouters, and along the way will have a great deal of
fun.
The application part of Wood Badge is a period of up
to 18 months during which the participants practice
and demonstrate a working knowledge of the
leadership principles presented during the course.
This is accomplished by use of the Wood Badge
“tickets”,
which
represents

commitment to complete a set of personal goals
related to their Scouting position. These goals will
