Wood Badge for the 21st Century is designed for all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity and Venturing leaders who have completed basic training. It is a leadership skills course, based on a format originally created by Scouting's Founder, Lord Robert Baden Powell, and is considered the "Ph.D." of Scout training.

The cost is $200. Participants attend both weekends in their entirety, including all day on Friday (arriving by 8:00 AM). The site is the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship, Neersville VA.

Wood Badge will be offered again in the fall.
