Wood Badge Training Scheme
Home Adult Members Leaders Training Wood Badge Training Scheme
Wood Badge Training Scheme (“the Scheme”) is a training system to develop adults to become competent Scout leaders. The Scheme is constantly reviewed and evolved to keep pace with the development of Scouting.
The Scheme has 2 streams: the “Sectional Leader Wood Badge Training System” is for Scout Leaders, while the “Administrator Wood Badge Training System” is for Lay Members of the Association. Group Scout Leaders and Professional Staff have the option to choose either one of the two streams to obtain the Wood Badge.
Wood Badge Training emphasizes on both theories and applications. Through a variety of training, including decision making and strategic planning, action-centred leadership, skills to organize Scout meetings and training activities, interpersonal skills, etc., the training equips leaders with relevant competencies. In addition, an array of leader skill courses, e.g. pioneering, expedition, knotting, map reading, are available for leaders to sharpen their scoutcraft skills and knowledge.
