Wood Badge

Wood Badge training was started over 100 years ago in 1919 by Baden Powell with the purpose of properly training adult leaders. Powell noticed that the youth joining the Scouting movement needed to have adult leaders familiar with leadership and therefore designed the Wood Badge course, which is taught worldwide to thousands of Scouters annually.

All registered adults in Scouting, whether a volunteer or a professional, in any of the program areas,  Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, Venturing/Sea Scouting, or Exploring are all welcome to complete this Wood Badge course.

The Piedmont Council, Scouting America has partnered w/the Palmetto Council, Scouting America in hosting an upcoming Woodbadge course at the Piedmont Scout Reservation. Registration is located here: https://www.palmettocouncil.org/woodbadge .
