Wood Badge Courses in Other Councils in 2009

Here is the information we have on Wood Badge in nearby councils. Mostly, that means councils in "Area 1" of the Western Region. There will be other courses as well, and we'll post the information when we get it. For more info on any of these courses, email woodbadge@seattlebsa.org. If you are looking for 2010 courses, they are posted here too, at OtherCouncils2010.htm.

It is best to attend Wood Badge in your own council.You will meet Scouters you will see again. Also, where councils have different approaches to some things in Scouting, you will hear the approach used in your own council. Still, if you cannot get to our Chief Seattle Council courses, then go to Wood Badge in a neighboring council. You will get about the same experience and benefit no matter where you attend. All courses carefully follow the same syllabus. The best course is is the one YOU attend. Don't be postponing Wood Badge just so you can go in your own council. The key is, go now.

These courses take two 3-day weekends, except for the June course in Snake River Council. That course goes for six consecutive days.

For all courses, the first day is a full day, starting about 7:00 AM. Yes, in the morning. This is an intense course. The course runs from that early till bedtime. You are in camp the whole time. You need to attend all of each day. That's okay though, because you'll be having fun as well as learning.

Don't know anything about those other councils? Here's some information a few:

Mt. Baker -- just north of us, centered in Everett. Fire Mountain is near Mt. Vernon. (Camp Black Mountain is also in Mt Baker Council.)
Pacific Harbors -- just south of us, including Tacoma and Olympia. Camp Thunderbird is near Olympia.
Cascade Pacific -- around Portland.
