| Wood Badge – 14-1-23 – Enduring Impact Wood Badge is the premier adult leader training program in Scouting It is often described as a ‘mountaintop experience’ for Scout leaders. The program highlights personal and leadership development with courses in team building, problem solving, communication, conflict resolution and many other useful skills.
