Loading... Please wait...Wood Badge is a leadership program for adult Scouters worldwide. Soon after founding the Scout movement, Robert Baden-Powell saw the need for leader training and the first Wood Badge course was held in 1919. The Boy Scouts of America has used the program since 1936. This book traces the start and development of Wood Badge in the United States.

Having been involved in Wood Badge since the early 70's I found Ken Davis' well written history both interesting and informative. Written from the perspective of one who has been involved in Wood Badge for decades, Ken has done a masterful job of telling the story in a way that introduces the reader to the players while outlining the progression of this premier leadership development program of the BSA.
