2022 Wood Badge

The 2022 Palmetto Council Wood Badge Course will be held over 2 weekends (September 16-18, 2022 & October 8-9, 2022) at Camp Bud Schiele in Rutherfordton, NC. You must attend both weekends. The fee for the course is $250 for participants and $100 for staff. A $100 deposit is due to register for the course. Payment dates for the balance due will be emailed to you after registration. Due to a training grant that has been received, Palmetto Council registered leaders will only have to pay the $100 deposit and your deposit will be refunded upon completion of the course. Out of council participants will be required to pay the full $250 course fee.

Wood Badge has been developed for ALL Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing leaders, as well as council and district leaders. The course content and the principles introduced apply to scouters in all leadership positions in all of the program areas.
