Wood Badge

Are you Wood Badge trained? Are you REALLY serious about your leadership role in the Boy Scouts? You need to consider the Wood Badge course. It is leadership training at its best. I have been through many corporate trainings seminars and if Wood badge were offered on a corporate level, it would be one of the best training programs available. Individuals pay thousands to get the same level of training. Here is the description:

Wood Badge is the premier adult training program for the Boy Scouts of America. It teaches contemporary leadership and team development skills in an outdoor setting. Its purpose is to aid Scouters in providing a quality program that will enable scouts to grow to their greatest potential. The course encompasses the key concepts of management from the leaders in the management field; therefore, this course can be helpful not only in your Scouting job, but also in your careers.

The next course is October 10-12 and October 31 - November 2, 2008. The cost is $225 and $50 holds your spot. Here is a link for the brochure:
