After years of 'putting off' Wood Badge training, I finally worked it into my schedule. Two weekends in February/March at Camp Kiesel was a great experience. We had 8 patrols and I was a member of the Antelope Patrol. We slept in the cabins the first weekend and slept in tents the second weekend. We had great instruction and our staff were absolutely amazing. We made friendships and acquired great knowledge on various leadership skills as well as scouting and how it fits in the lives of young boys. Standing in Gilwell Field and singing Back To Gilwell has left me with wonderful memories of knowing I've been part of a tradition of scouting that dates back to the very beginnings. If you are going to be a scouter, go to Wood Badge. It is fun, good food, good friends, good entertainment and well worth the time and effort. I'll be working my ticket and hope to earn my beads before the end of the year.
