Hi Wood Badge critters, staff and friends! After an excellent reunion with many of you yesterday at the Scout Show, we have some exciting news!

Due to a corporate donation,we are able to secure a reduced participant registration fee by $50! This is bringing the total savings of that of the donation plus a $55 early registration fee reduction to $105 off the full fee!

We need YOUR help! We know that many of you are working hard on your tickets. If you’re anything like me, it also left you thinking, “I wish (insert person)had done this course with me too because then they would understand what I’m trying to do more fully!).

One of the hidden treasures of Wood Badge is the sense of community that being on course can create.

Here, members of the last course came together to celebrate the completion of three participant’s Wood Badge journey.

Some of the themes of Wood Badge are Growing and Connecting. Here is a great example of those in action!

Join us for the next course starting in just a few weeks!

How amazing to think that the next course of Wood Badge is almost at capacity!?!?

The staff is incredibly humbled to report that we only have six spots left to welcome you and your leaders into the course. Both weekends are at beautiful Camp Workcoeman in New Hartford—with promises of gorgeous leaf colors this Fall, why not see it in person?

Six more opportunities to invest in yourself, your unit and the desire to offer our scouts the best programming around.
