Wood Badge
SCOUTING'S PREMIER ADULT LEADER TRAINING
SCOUTING'S PREMIER ADULT LEADER TRAINING
Wood Badge is the premier training course for adult Scouters. It is a leadership and team building course.
Wood Badge is named for the badge given to those who successfully complete the entire experience. The badge now consists of two wooden beads, worn on a leather thong around the neck. These are replicas of a bead necklace obtained in 1888 by Lord Robert Baden-Powell while he was serving in the British military in Africa. Baden-Powell held the first Wood Badge course in 1919 at Gilwell Park, near London.
Many Scouters associated with Cordele Boy Scout Troop 270 have earned their Wood Badge Beads. Several have gone on to serve in additional Wood Badge courses as staff members. Some have even held the position of Course Director/Scoutmaster.
