The purpose of this website is to convey information to the participants and staff of the Southern Region (SR) Wood Badge course number 851.
Wood BadgeWelcome to Wood Badge, the ultimate leadership training program for the adult leaders of the Boy Scouts of America. Established in 1919 by Robert Baden-Powell, Scouting's founder, Wood Badge has been the training ground for hundreds of thousands of Scouters around the world. As the challenges in the world have changed, Wood Badge has also evolved to give leaders the skills they need to strengthen Scouting in meaningful ways. Building on the past, understanding the present, and looking to the future, Wood Badge stands ready to provide leadership for Scouting and leadership for America.
Wood Badge CourseThe Wood Badge course brings together leaders from all areas of Scouting - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, Venturing - and all levels of Boy Scouts of America professional staff. Reflecting the best of nearly a century of Scouting experience, the course also draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles, and successful outdoor leadership organizations throughout the country. In addition, Wood Badge draws from a wide range of sources within and beyond the bounds of Scouting to present the latest in leadership theory and team development. Participants attend a six-day course as two sessions of three days each for 5-7 October 2007 and 26-28 October 2007. Course attendees begin their Wood Badge experience as Cub Scout, then bridge into Boy Scouting and form patrols for the remainder of the program. Participants assume leadership roles to plan and carry out an extended outdoor experience. All course participants will become familiar, both in theory and in practice, with the points of view of Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing. Wood Badge staff will expand upon that shared vision by guiding participants through three days of presentations and activities that parallel three weeks of a Scout unit's meetings and activities. The final three days of the course parallel the experiences of a Scout unit setting out on the fourth week of a month for an exciting and challenging outdoor experience. Both participants and staff will have a remarkable opportunity to enhance the skills and vision of those who are providing leadership for Scouting and leadership for America. The positive impact you will have upon the Boy Scouts of America, upon our nation, and upon our own abilities to lead will be profound.
