WOODBADGE COURSE SR-882
Scouters In the Coastal Empire Council,
Wood Badge Course SR-882 has been completed at Camp Blue Heron, Riceboro, Georgia. The first and second weekends of program and activities were conducted with great success despite the rain and mud on Friday, February 22 but, thank goodness we experienced great weather throughout the remainder of the program!
If you are committed to the ideals of Scouting and have completed the basic training for your registered position, participation in Wood Badge is a natural next step. Wood Badge is internationally recognized and has a tradition that dates back to 1919; however, the training you will receive is fresh and applicable for you both inside as well as outside of your Scouting position.
Wood Badge is conducted in the outdoors and the tightly packed schedule is physically challenging, but the experience will probably be the most exhilarating fun you will ever have in Scouting. All participants are placed in patrols that function as units throughout the course. By the end, you will surely feel a strong bond with the other members of your patrol.
Participation in Wood Badge is by invitation, but ALL Scouters (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venture, Unit Committee members, Council Executive Board members) are welcome to apply for an invitation. Be looking for our upcoming 2009 Wood Badge Course advertisements from the Coastal Empire Council, Inc. Any questions you have are welcome, and I am only a phone call: (912-826-5545) or email: tpft165@gmail.com away. The staff and I look forward to serving you.

Something NEW! Beginning with Wood Badge Course #SR-882 participants will be presented the newest addition of the Council shoulder strip upon completion of their ticket items at their beading ceremony.

The cost of the patch will be $6.00 each. Patches are now available at the Scout Service Center in Savannah.
