Be a part of the 100th Year of Scout Training...Come to Wood Badge!!!

We just got through the 100th year of Scouting in America but did you know that this is the 100th year of adult leader training?  That's right, Baden Powell conducted the first series of lectures in 1911 which later became the course now known as Wood Badge in 1919!  You can be a part of Scouting history by signing up immediately on-line right here: WOOD BADGE ON-LINE SIGNUP
