The Wood Badge Warning

If you're thinking about taking Wood Badge,
this warning is for you...

So, you're thinking about taking Wood Badge. Congratulations! Wood Badge has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and I wish you great success.

Right about now you're probably wondering what it's all about and you're thinking about surfing the web and digging up as much information as you can...

--- DON'T ---

Wood Badge uses a training technique known as guided discovery. Basically, this means the less you know going in, the greater the impact. Don't worry about looking dumb or being left behind. If your Wood Badge staff does their job right, this won't happen.

There are a number of very good web sites with information on Wood Badge. These are great resources. Use them after you've completed the course.
