We will be holding a Wood Badge class later this year. Great opportunity for new and long time Scouters to grow leadership skills, meet awesome leaders from around the area and have a blast!

Wood Badge is the premier adult leadership training course offered by Scouting America, and it is truly a transformational experience.

This is an amazing course for new leaders who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of how the Scouting program works, how teams function, and how to lead with confidence. Whether you're a Cub Scout leader, Scouts BSA leader, or serving at the district or council level, Wood Badge gives you the tools to deliver a stronger, more impactful program for our youth.

You’ll learn practical leadership skills, build lasting connections with fellow volunteers, and leave energized with a clear vision for your unit and your role.
