Wood Badge teaches contemporary leadership and team-building skills in a comfortable outdoor and indoor setting over a period of two weekends.

During the course, they take part in numerous presentations, discussions, and activities that explore and advance a wide range of leadership philosophies and tools. A key area of exploration is the process of team development. With this in mind, participants will learn to apply appropriate leadership strategies that enable teams to reach their highest levels of performance.
