Wood Badge
Further information: Wood Badge (United States)In 1919 Baden-Powell began a training program called Wood Badge for adult leaders in Scouting. The BSA did not fully adopt this training in the United States until 1948. It was delivered by the National Council until 1958, when increased demand necessitated allowing local councils to deliver the training. It is continually presented in many councils across the United States each year.

Famous quotes containing the word badge:
“Signor Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances.
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for use of that which is mine own.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
