What’s Wood Badge All About?
Wood Badge is a dynamic and immersive course designed to make you a better leader in every area of life—at work, home, parenting, and, of course, in Scouting. Imagine five days filled with purpose-driven games, engaging presentations, and powerful small-group activities, all focused on giving you the tools to lead with vision and purpose.

Our theme, “Inspiring Change and Building the Future,” speaks to the heart of Scouting. Wood Badge will equip you to foster positive change within your unit and help shape the next generation of Scouts, creating future leaders who are prepared to face the world with courage and resilience.
Who Can Join?
Wood Badge is open to all adults in Scouting—whether you’re with Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, or involved at the district or council level. If you’re 18 or older and registered with the Boy Scouts of America, you’re eligible! Just complete your position’s basic training (most of which can be done online through https://my.Scouting.org).
What to Expect:
The course is spread over two weekends, covering five days that will open your eyes to a whole new level of Scouting. You’ll understand why every moment counts, from the team challenges to the camaraderie around the campfire, as you learn to inspire change and build the future.
