An Invitation

Dear Scouter,

You are invited to attend the highest leadership training available in the Boy Scouts of America.  Wood Badge for the 21st Century is intended for all leaders in Scouting – Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, and Venturing leaders, as well as council and district leaders. The focus is on leadership skills, not outdoor skills.

The Wood Badge course is an internationally recognized leadership development course, with leadership skills taught that are equal to or better than any current leadership training in industry today. This leadership training is focused to demonstrate the aims and methods of Scouting through the presentation of leadership skills, organizational tools, and a variety of activities based on the best of Scouting traditions and the latest in team development theory. In addition, participants will enjoy the fellowship of sharing this experience with other volunteer and professional Scouters while having a great deal of just plain fun. Baden-Powell did tell us that Scouting is “A Game with a Purpose.”

Because of your commitment to Scouting this upcoming Wood Badge course will give you the opportunity to:

> Understand Scouting as a family of interrelated, values-based programs providing age appropriate activities for youth.

> Recognize contemporary leadership concepts used in America and discover how those concepts are relevant to our values-based movement.

> Apply the skills you learn from your participation as a member of a successful working team.

> Revitalize your commitment to Scouting by sharing in an inspirational experience that helps to provide Scouting with renewed leadership to accomplish its mission.

Many Scouters consider Wood Badge to be the peak experience of their Scouting careers. It has served as a source of training and inspiration for thousands. In return, Wood Badge participants have positively affected the lives of millions of America’s youth.
