Wood Badge Training

​

​

The Wood Badge is the internationally recognised Scouting training insignia awarded to adults by Headquarters to denote the completion of the training required for their role.  The Wood Badge consists of two wooden beads threaded onto a leather thong which is worn with the Scout Uniform.

​

The role you undertake dictates whether you are required to complete your Wood Badge.  This training should be undertaken within three years of achieving your full appointment.  Please check whether your role needs you to complete the training, some of you don't!!!

To achieve your Wood Badge you need to complete both the necessary modules relevant to your role.  (You must have already completed the Getting Started elements of the training prior to undertaking the Wood Badge Training)

​

The newly planned course for includes one residential weekend at County HQ followed by a further non residential weekend.  

​

There will still be some elements you will need to complete as either e-learning or workbooks, the link to which can be seen below.
