Welcome to the Alabama-Florida Council Wood Badge Webpage

Wood Badge, is the premier training program for all Scout leaders in the Boy Scouts of America. This includes all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity and Venturing Leaders, District and Council Committee members as well as Professional Scouters. Wood Badge is designed to train adult volunteers using the latest leadership skills and techniques. It is once in a life time training experience.

There are two parts to the Wood Badge course: The first part consists of two weekends of practical experience where you have the opportunity to learn skills and concepts that underlie the five themes of Wood Badge for the 21st Century.

The second part is a plan to apply what you learned in the practical course, your Ticket. You will create and carry out a plan of action. When that action is complete, you earn the recognition (beads, neckerchief, and woggle) that are the Wood Badge.

This course is conducted in accordance with the national training program for all adult leaders. National Council of Boy Scouts of America has called the program a “training continuum,” to emphasize how all the parts of leader training fit together.

Scouts deserve trained leaders and trained leaders deserve the best program possible.
