SR-874 Cancelled |
|
Wood Badge SR-874 has been cancelled due to the lack
of paid registered participants. The Wood
Badge administration guide states that we must have
a minimum of 30 fully paid registered participants
by 30 days out from the first day of the course.
Since we did not have the required amount of minimum
participants, the Southern Region Area Wood Badge
Coordinator volunteer cancelled the course.
For more information please call 405-714-8359 or

VFW Wood Badge Scholarship Program
|
| Rationale |
| The VFW has entered into a cooperative
effort with the Boy Scouts of America to
encourage posts to organize Cub Scout packs,
Boy Scout troops, Varsity Scout teams, and
Venturing crews. To further this effort, the
VFW national headquarters offers Wood Badge
scholarships to assist selected chapter
members in acquiring skills that will better
equip them to serve the youth of their
communities. Members at large and retirees
can qualify by being sponsored by the
nearest VFW post in their area. |

Badge courses. Wood Badge is an
eight-day training course involving
Scoutcraft and leadership skills for
unit-, district-, and council-level
volunteers.

AFL-CIO Wood Badge Scholarship Program
|
| Rationale |
| A survey conducted by the Boy Scouts of
America revealed that one of every four unit
leaders is a union member. This means that
hundreds of thousands of union members are
actively serving the youth of their
community in such leadership roles as
Cubmasters, den leaders, Scoutmasters,
Varsity Scout Coaches, Venturing Advisors,
and committee members. |
| Recognizing this, it is proper that the
AFL-CIO offer a Wood Badge scholarship to
assist selected union members in acquiring
skills that will better equip them to serve
the youth of their communities. |
|
Guidelines |
- This scholarship program covers the
current Wood Badge course, which was
updated in 2000. Wood Badge for the 21st
century has been developed for all Cub
Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing leaders,
as well as council and district leaders.
The focus of the course is on the
development of leadership skills, not
outdoor skills.
- There shall be awarded annually
three scholarships for each BSA region,
for a total of 12.
- Scholarships will cover the tuition
fee only. The recipient must furnish
transportation to and from Wood Badge
training locations.
- Eligibility shall be limited to
lifetime and dues-paying union members.
- Applicants must satisfy all Wood
Badge course prerequisites.
- All applications will be reviewed by
AFL-CIO members involved with Scouting.
