Wood Badge Training



The Purpose of Wood Badge is to strengthen units.

Wood Badge is an advanced, intense, experiential course on small-group leadership. There are presentations and activities. There are games, but there is no dead time – the games are all with a purpose. The course, and working your ticket afterwards, will help you make your Scouting unit stronger, and will also help you in your work, church, family, and everywhere else.

The first Wood Badge course ever was in England in 1919. Thus, 2019 is the 100th anniversary of Wood Badge. 

Wood Badge is for all adults in Scouting: anyone age 18 or older, male or female, involved with Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, Exploring, district, or council. The only requirements for attending Wood Badge are: that you be registered in the Boy Scouts of America, and that you have taken the basic training for your position, most of which can be taken online through my.Scouting.

The course takes a full five days, from about 7:00 a.m. the first day to about 5:00 p.m. the last day of each weekend.  You must be there for all of both weekends (on the same course).  Once you have been on course, that requirement will make a lot of sense.

Here is more information, or you can email WoodBadge@SeattleBSA.net

NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING



The National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) Conference is like Wood Badge for youth.  NYLT is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members with leadership skills and experiences they can use in their home troops, teams, crews, personal lives, and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

NYLT is for Boy Scouts, Venturers, Sea Scouts, and Explorers.

All courses are at Camp Pigott.

NYLT online registration is now open!

NYLT Registration

Click here to watch last year’s NYLT’s recap.

Modern leadership theory is delivered in a team setting (the term team may be considered synonymous with patrol in a Troop model) with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. 

The course is an exciting combination of classroom and fun outdoor activities providing a challenging and rewarding learning experience. 

Participants cook meals and work in their teams throughout the course.  Teams are composed of diverse participants in order to promote individuals making new friends and learning about others.

REQUIRED TRAINING


Position specific classes (Cubmaster, Den leader, Committee Challenge, Scoutmaster specific) never expire.  If you took the course in 1950 and have proof you took it (or the comparable course) then it is still valid today.  However, when there are major curriculum changes it is recommended that you take the course again:  recommended - but not required!

Position Specific training can be accomplished online through the BSA training Center http://my.scouting.org


IOLS, BALOO, WILDERNESS FIRST AID, CPR are all required to be completed at various points. Due to various needs and services both Sinclair District and Orca District team up to provide these courses throughout the year.  Staying up to date with the Sinclair District Facebook Page events will help you to track when these things are being given.

 

 

Required Training for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters:  

     Youth Protection, Scoutmaster Specific, and Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills
