Wood Badge
The purpose of Wood Badge is simple: It gives men and women the knowledge and skills necessary to strengthen the entire Scouting program from Cub Scouts through Venturing, it provides dedicated Scouters with the concepts, tools and methods needed to be effective leaders, it creates a structured opportunity to develop and apply these leadership skills. Wood Badge is not an award, and it confers no special status or membership. Wearing the beads simply means that you understand the value of training, you've tried your best to become an outstanding leader and you have implemented your new ideals of Scouting.
