Completion Requirements for
Cub Scout Trainer Wood Badge
Cub Scout Trainer Wood Badge consists of two parts: the practical course for trainers,
and the application phase.
Practical - An intensive training experience designed to help
participants become more effective in training Cub Scout leaders. The practical course is
usually a week long, though there is also a 3-weekend format. Successful completion of the
practical course is based on evaluation by the staff members.
Application - The application phase includes three parts, all of which
must be completed in a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 2 years:
- Commitment - By accepting the invitation to attend Cub Scout Trainer
Wood Badge, participants agree to be an active member of a Cub Scout leader training team
and to participate in at least six Cub Scout leader training sessions, involving more than
18 hours of service (including preparation, delivery, and evaluation), after attending the
Cub Scout Trainer Wood Badge practical course. Completion of this commitment to service
will be documented by the participant and verified by the District Training Chairman or
the person to whom the participant is responsible for training. After verification, this
record is forwarded to the Den Counselor.
- Ticket - At certain points in the practical course, participants will
be asked to identify ways in which they intend to use the information they have just
gained. These commitments constitute the Wood Badge ticket, and are furnished to (and
approved by) the Den Counselor before the end of the course. Successful completion of the
ticket is verified by the Den Counselor.
- Study Questions - At the end of the course, participants will be given
a series of questions that must be answered in narrative form and returned to the Den
Counselor for approval.
