Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills is the required outdoor training for all Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters, and Varsity Scout
coaches. The skills taught are based on the outdoor skills found in the Boy Scout Handbook. The course is also ideal for Venturing leaders because it focuses on skills that build confidence and competence in leaders conducting outdoor camping experiences.

location:
  Camp Masonite Navarro for Sep 8-10

Originally presented by Lord Baden-Powell in 1919, Wood Badge is advanced training in group leadership skills for volunteers involved in all levels of Boy Scouting (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing, Exploring, Council, or Board Positions). Wood Badge consists of two parts.

The first part is a two-weekend experience, living with a group of Scouters in an outdoor environment. During this time, participants are trained in leadership skills in order to better serve those units with which they are involved. Through this living/working experience, each person develops knowledge and understanding of these skills. We hope to instill a personal motivation to apply these skills for excellent scouting programs as well as professional growth.

After the outdoor experience, participants will work on commitments made during the two weekends. A maximum of 18 months may be used to complete these goals for certification. Each person will be evaluated on their performance. Upon successful completion of Wood Badge, Scouters receive their beads of recognition and become members of Troop One, Gilwell.
