The highest level of Adult Leader training in Scouting is the Wood Badge course. We encourage all of our Adult Leaders and those interested in Adult Leadership to take part. I took the course in 2008 when I had just become an Adult Leader with the Troop and I still am in touch with many of the friends that I made in the course.
Aside from it’s value as Scout Training, it’s a valuable way to learn leadership skills, dealing with difficult situations, and small group dynamics. I know of no better way to learn how to pass on the values that we want our Scouts to have than for Adults to participate in Wood Badge.
The course runs over two long weekends in the late summer and early fall and the cost is $240 ($270 after June 1)

I would encourage you to consider this as something that you do this summer. It is well worth your time. Please let me know if you have questions. I would love to have you share the Wood Badge experience.
Yours in Scouting.
Mr. Fulton
