What is Wood Badge?

Wood Badge is an advanced national leadership training course open to all Scouting America adult volunteers and professionals. Every adult in Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Exploring is welcome to attend, whether you are new to your adult role or have been Scouting for decades. Everyone is welcome to learn and to sharpen your leadership tools to enable our youth to enjoy and deliver the best Scouting program. We all belong at Wood Badge to train ourselves to be the best leaders for our youth in our units.

The Ticket

During the course, your Ticket is developed by you with the guidance of staff members. It includes your big picture outlook for yourself and those you serve in Scouting with steps (goals) to fulfill that vision. After the course experience, you have 18 months to complete your Ticket by applying your knowledge and skills to your goals.

Below you can find examples of tickets those in the North Shore district completed.
