Wood Badge was the name given to adult leader training by Our Founder, Baden - Powell, many years ago. Today, Scouts Canada offers two levels of Wood Badge Training: Basic Program Planning , and Advanced Outdoor Skills and Program Planning.

Woodbadge I Basic Program Planning develops the confidence and skills required for a leaders role and provides an orientation to the role. The course focuses on program planning, program delivery, leadership skills, administration and outdoor skills.

Woodbadge II Advanced Outdoor Skills and Program Planning is a comprehensive course to help Beaver, Cub, Scout and Venturer Scouters further develop their skills in working with youth and adults. It is a ‘hands - on' training experience developing programs, working with others and camping. In addition, the course will further develop your confidence in your scouting role and increase your knowledge of Scouting. This course is usually held over 2 weekends.

Other Leader Development
The Eastern Avalon Area also offers a variety of other skill courses from time to time. These courses may include First Aid, Canoe Instruction and others. Once sufficient interest is shown, these courses, or others, will be offered.
