Wood Badge 2022 --- limited space available; please register NOW!

Registration is open for the 2022 Wood Badge training course offered jointly by Marin, Piedmont and Redwood Empire Councils.  This year's course will be held in September at nearby Camp Tamarancho, and is hosted by Marin Council with Mike Hadfield serving as Course Director.

Wood Badge is the premier training experience for all adult volunteers, and is open to registered Scouters who desire to develop and improve their interpersonal communication and leadership skills to better serve in Scouting and other areas of their lives.  It consists of five days spread over two weekend sessions, and is hands-on learning in group experiences held in an outdoor setting.  This is followed by a period of up to 18 months in which each participant works to achieve their five unique goals developed during the course training.

The first Wood Badge training was organized by Francis “Skipper” Gidney and lectured by Lord Robert Baden-Powell and others at Gilwell Park in the United Kingdom in September 1919.  Wood Badge training has since spread across the world with international variations.  Upon completion of this training, you will join thousands of other leaders around the world who are dedicating themselves to passing on the ideals of Scouting.  Virtually everyone who completes Wood Badge training feels that the course is well worth the commitment of time and energy as a participant, with positive results across many areas of their lives.

Registration requires that you attend both sessions in their entirety:

Weekend #1:  Friday, September 16 through Sunday, September 18, 2022

Weekend #2:  Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2, 2022
