2027 Wood Badge Training    

Wood Badge is the highest level and most exciting training program for adult Scout Leaders and professionals in all program areas.

The Wood Badge experience comes with decades of Scouting knowledge, a skilled and helpful staff, and a guided tour through the Scouting program. You will learn how to be a better leader, manage conflict, and develop your adult and youth leaders so they can effectively plan projects and achieve objectives. The first section is practical training which takes place in a camp setting; during this portion of the course you will learn and practice a variety of  leadership skills. During the second portion, you will apply your newly acquired skills to complete the five goals of your choosing.

You’re invited to participate in Wood Badge in South Florida!
