Wood Badge, 2021
Excerpts taken from https://www.scouting.org/training/adult/woodbadge/:
"Wood Badge is an advanced, national leadership course open only to Scouting volunteers and professionals."
During this course, you "build your skills in communication, conflict management," and hone your teaching methods to maintain engagement.
I also had to complete five ticket items. "The ticket is a group of five goals you set for yourself to do after course, to improve your unit."
My ticket items were:
1. Documentation to supplement the Eagle Scout workbook: https://troop21clayton.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Troop_21_How_to_Eagle_Rank_Unit_Committee_Form.pdf
2. Revamp the mailing and slideshow for our yearly recruitment day
3. Produced videos and PDFs on essential knots and lashings: https://troop21clayton.org/knots-lashings/
4. Created an adult orientation deck
5. Revamped every handout so they have a cohesive look: https://troop21clayton.org/troop-documents/
