Wood Badge
 

There was a thread on here a while back about Eagle Scouts. In that spirit, are any of you Wood Badgers?

P.S. Yes, I do appreciate the irony in that.

John,

How does that course number break down?

Mine is NE-IV-119, which is Northeast Region, Area 4, Course 119.
I believe that was the last English-language "old style" Wood Badge couse in the NE Region.

I will be a scribe on the staff of NE-IV-176 in spring of 2006. I was on a staff in 2002, and I really learned more staffing than I did as a participant.

Have you seen the "new" course, Wood Badge fro the 21st Century?

W = Western Region
39 = Council number - Orange County Council
8 = Course number
8 = Ticket number

I've not seen the new course, and I really have little interest in the program now. I wasn't enough of a Mormon to be a volunteer in my hometown of Orange. The district commissioners staff was 95% LDS and if you were not a member of that church, well, you just weren't with the program.

I was named the Roundtable Chair, but after 6 months in the job, I was still being told what to do and how to do it every step of the way. It wasn't worth my time. Sad to put it that way, but the local council went off the deep end with the evangelicals and the LDS folks. Get right, or get left.
