Get Ready for 2027 National Woodbadge Course
Plan to attend the best training course in Scouting. This national course -- the first since 2022 -- has registration now open. Follow this link to learn more about this great course held at Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. This is a training you will never forget.
