Ticket items, critters, beads and the Gilwell song. Wood Badge left a mark on almost every Scouter who took it, and course participants and staff wrote about it often.

Well, I just finished my second staff assignment on a Wood Badge course this past weekend. While I liked being a Scribe on my first staff experience , I really enjoyed interacting with the participants as a Troop Guide over the Bear Patrol this time.
Many Scouters will tell you that Wood Badge is like the college course of training for adult Scout Leaders. Not only is the course fantastic for any branch of Scouting but participants also receive training which they will find useful in the field of work and life in general.
Yes, I know it is not even Halloween yet, but Christmas commercials are already on television and the stores have already begun decorating for the season, so I thought now would be a great time to tell those of you who have completed their Wood Badge training to check out the scoutstuff.org website for this…
Reblogged from Bryan on Scouting: Just like your favorite film, Wood Badge is even better the second time around. Last month, I served as a Troop Guide for Wood Badge course S2-571-13-3, known within the Dallas-based Circle Ten Council simply as Wood Badge 106.

I just walked in the door from another fantastic Wood badge course. W1-492-13 is now in its application phase and as the participants walked out of camp yesterday I could not help but think about the impact that was about to hit the Scouting world.
Wood Badge + Philmont = Happy Land I interrupt my regular blog programming for this important Wood Badge Wednesdays announcement… I'm staffing Wood Badge this summer at Philmont Scout Ranch, and there's a spot on our course for you and your Scouting friends.
Sandra says Wood Badge was the "most exciting and incredible experience" ever. Wood Badge builds lifelong memories, regardless of the setting. So whether you're at Philmont Scout Ranch ( where I'll be staffing a course this summer ), a council camp in the midwest, or even an island in the Caribbean, you're getting the same great course.
Would you like to serve on Wood Badge staff?" It was one of the easiest questions I've ever been asked. It sounds sentimental, but the truth is I had never really left Wood Badge, at least in my mind. That made saying "yes" to Debbie Sullivan, course director for the upcoming Wood Badge course this…
