For Further Information, Contact Howard D. Mangin - Course Director (719) 671-7343 hdmangin@hotmail.com Wood Badge for the 21st Century In 1911, Baden Powell took the first steps in training Scouting’s adult leaders by organizing a series of lectures. His training lectures evolved and became the basis of the first Wood Badge course in 1919. Wood Badge for the 21st Century is a continuation of the Wood Badge tradition. This course draws from the best leadership models in America and applies them to training our youth. You will have the opportunity to live the magic of Scout leadership training as envisioned by the founder of Scouting. Wood Badge consists of two phases. The first is the practical phase consisting of two three day weekends at camp, plus one mid-week small group meeting between the weekends. The second phase is the application phase, which begins after the second weekend and consists of achieving a set of self-defined, personal goals written during the course. A key area of the practical phase revolves around team development and learning to recognize stages through which developing teams must pass. You will learn how to apply appropriate leadership strategies to that enable teams to reach peak performance. Wood Badge provides leaders the skills they need to strengthen Scouting in meaningful ways and deliver a quality program to our youth.
