The Wood Badge Tradition On the morning of September 8, 1919, a 61- year old retired British Army General stepped into the center of a clearing in Gilwell Park, Epping Forest, outside of London. He raised to his lips the horn of the great Kudu, one of the largest African antelope. He blew a long, sharp blast and the 19 Scouters gathered in patrols for the first training course for Scout Leaders. Robert S. S. Baden-Powell, founder of the worldwide Scouting movement, realized trained leaders would be a key to the movement’s success. At the end of the training program, Baden-Powell looked for a suitable recognition. He chose the wooden beads from a Zulu chieftain’s necklace and put them on a leather bootlace, a symbol of good luck. The training course and the recognition became known as “Wood Badge”. Wood Badge is a commitment – a commitment to lifelong learning, a commitment made by a candidate, toward service to Scouting and its ideals, and to one’s self. Every Scouter accepted for a Wood Badge course subscribes to this commitment both in words and deeds.
