The WOOD BADGE: A Brief History

The Wood Badge is a training program for Scouters initially developed by Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell in 1919.   The training was held at Gilwell Park in the UK and has been adapted by other Scouting organizations worldwide ever since.  This international acceptance was formally acknowledged in 1924 at the World Conference in Copenhagen.

There are a number of items that have been used worldwide to recognize the completion of Wood Badge training.  They are the leather Turk’s Head Woggle, Wood Beads on a leather lace necklace and the Scarf /Necker with a rectangular piece of Maclaren tartan at the apex.   The Axe and Log Totem is yet another symbol long associated with Wood Badge training.

Upon completion of the Wood Badge training Scouters become members of the 1st Gilwell Scout Group or Gilwell Troop 1 and are known as Wood Badgers or Gilwellians.

I proudly joined this group many decades ago. (I was not quite certain what I was getting into. For sure it was NOT one hour a week.)  If you are looking at this listing, I presume you probably are a member as well.   The history of The Wood Badge and the various items associated with it have always been an important part of my collecting passion for Boy Scout memorabilia.
