| Wood
Badge |
| |
Wood Badge is a training course for Scouters which
finally results in their receiving a certificate, a small neckerchief,
a leather slide, and two small wooden beads on a leather thong. Lord
Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, directed the first course
in 1919 and gave each of the participants one of the beads which
he had captured from the African chieftain Dinizulu. Thus did the
course name develop, for it's symbol was literally a badge of wood.
Wood Badge is, further, Scouting's premier training course. Baden-Powell
designed it so that Scouters could learn, in as practical a way possible,
the skills and methods of Scouting. It is first and foremost, learning
by doing. The members of the course are formed into patrols and these
into a troop. The entire troop lives in the out-of-doors for
a week, camping, cooking their own meals, and practicing Scout skills.
