New Birth of Freedom Council has announced the dates for the upcoming 2012 Adult Wood Badge Training Course.

• The training is a 2-week course held over the following two weekends at Hidden Valley Scout Reservation:
• 1st weekend - August 24-26, 2012
• 2nd weekend September 14-16, 2012 

• The Wood Badge Training Course can trace its roots back to Baden Powell and Brownsea Island. 
• It is not an outdoor training course, but one that expands your leadership skills and enriches your scouting experience. 
• You learn a variety of program and practical scouting information and you will fellowship with Scout Leaders from all over the Council as well as from surrounding Councils. 
• The leadership lessons learned through this training not only help you to create a better scouting experience for the youth we serve but also can be transferred to your family and work lives. 
• Much of the training comes directly from professional leadership courses offered to the business leaders across the country. 

• Wood Badge for the 21st century is available to all Trained Scout leaders. 
• It has been developed for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, and Venturing leaders, as well as Council and District leaders. 

• Applications are available on the Council website (www.newbirthoffreedom.org) 
• Cost for the course is $240.00 and scholarship money is available. 
• For questions or more information please contact Robert Metka, Scoutmaster for the course at 717-540-7191 or bsacampmaster@verizon.net
