WOOD BADGE
PART I
What is a Wood Badge
Part I?
The Wood Badge
Part Iis intended to assist new leaders, by
providing the basic knowledge needed to contribute to a
successful quality program, as well as the skills required
to work with youth. Leaders will be introduced to their
section's program and through 'hands-on' work, will
develop the confidence and comfort to work with
section-specific age groups. Wood Badge Part I covers all
aspects of program planning and operations for each
particular program section, including ceremonies, program
elements, planning and delivery of a quality meeting, idea
starters and practice in Scouting methods. .
Do I have to take
the course?
It is expected that all new leaders will complete the
Wood Badge Part I within their first year. Ideally they
should participate in a Wood Badge Part I within the
first four months of joining the leadership team. By
completing this course, the leader will have the skills
to actively participate in section planning and program
execution
If you find that the traditional courses do not fit
with your schedule the on-line E-Learning format might
be right for you. (click
