PURPOSE: Scout Leader Wood Badge is the advanced training program for BSA Leadership. The program is designed to train all Scouters who are directly related to BSA Unit Operations.
QUALIFICATIONS: Each Scouter invited to participate in Wood Badge MUST have completed the current BSA Basic Leader Training and MUST be currently registered in a position directly related to Unit operations. His/her home Scout district MUST also recommend the Scouter. Because of the advanced nature of this training, the requirements above may not be waived. It is strongly recommended that the participants have at least one year of camping experience. Participants should not consider their participation as recognition for past performance, but rather as an opportunity for greater service.
