WHAT IS WOOD BADGE? 

CALT- Course for Assistant Leader Trainers

 

The Wood Badge is the first level where Scout leaders, Scout federations, schools that have Scout leaders, non-governmental organizations, municipalities, Scout professionals, who work with Scouts of all ages, take their steps towards educational leadership .

The Wood Badge is the first and most important level that also gives its name to the Gilwell Teaching Method.

 

The subject we will talk about here is Wood Badge, that is, 2 Wooden Signs training.

 

Below, we will answer your questions about Wood Badge.

Wood Badge is essentially an adventure of discovery .

Before the pandemic, the training, which was carried out completely in nature and preferably for a week, is applied as a hybrid in order to prevent the spread of the disease, at least until more comfortable days are reached. We should understand this: While theoretical lessons are given over internet platforms such as Zoom, practical lessons, which are indispensable for Scouting, continue to be given in the field. The balance between theory and practice is determined by the staff who will manage this training.

We wish and hope that Wood Badge education can become completely given in nature, as it was in the old days.

 

Topics include Conflict Management, Communication, Listening to Learning, Valuing People and Promoting Diversity, Team Development Phases, Team and Individual Leadership, Coaching and Mentoring, Project Planning and much more.
