Wood Badge is a nationally developed course curriculum delivered locally by Aloha Council Scouters through six days of instruction spread over two weekends.

“Wood Badge is one of the best experiences I have had in Scouting and it has helped me be a stronger leader both for my Scouts and in my home and workplace." 

What is Wood Badge?
Wood Badge is:

Scouting's PREMIER TRAINING PROGRAM for all adult leaders.
 LEADERSHIP TRAINING, applicable to all scouting positions
A TOOL FOR IMPROVING all scouting programs, including yours.

Topics include Managing Conflict, Communicating, Listening to Learn, Valuing People and Leveraging Diversity, Stages of Team Development, team and individual leadership, Coaching and Mentoring, Project Planning and much, much more.

The purpose of Wood Badge is to develop skilled leaders who can strengthen Scouting units in achieving the mission of the Boy Scouts of America, which is "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law".

You go to Wood Badge to improve your leadership of small groups, and your understanding of how teams develop. The heart of Wood Badge is small group leadership. It is great fun too. This training is not only for Scouting. It also helps people at work, in church, with other groups, and in families.

Every scout deserves trained leaders.

You will gain a better understanding and useful tools for the challenges you face as scout leader.
