Welcome to Wood Badge in the BAC

A course has been held, usually in the fall, every year since 1969. This scout year, 2010/2011, the council will host two courses. NE VI-75 in the fall of 2010 and NE VI-80 in the spring of 2011. We look forward to building on the great traditions of Wood Badge training in the coincil

What is Wood Badge all About?
The purpose of the Wood Badge experience is to strengthen Scouting in our units, our District and our Councils. The Wood Badge "ticket" represents each Participants commitment to complete a set of personal goals relating to that individual's Scouting position. These goals will significantly strengthen the program in which the Participant is involved. In addition, the Ticket gives participants an opportunity to practice and demonstrate a working knowledge of the leadership skills presented during the course. Participants should complete their Wood Badge ticket no later than 18 months after the course.
