I just finished Woodbadge training and now into my tickets. I was hesitating to go to this training for two reasons, but afterward, they do not matter at all. I would like to share it here and encourage more scouters to go.
1. I wonder why bother another training, especially my son is an Eagle Scout already. Actually, Woodbadge serves as a place to review what we know as leader (or be led), and put into practice. For me, it applies to my job and daily life as well, not just for scouting.
2. Why Woodbadge in bilingual? The patrol is by Chinese and English speaking in Western Region 3 for the first time. Chinese was used only in patrol discussion. It turned out the English-only scouters were not offended and we all learned a few songs (scout or folk song) in other language.
The success can be measured by the tear from each person at the closing ceremony.
Again, I would like to say that I'm using what I learned (or refreshed) from the course daily beyond scouting. Just go, I wish I went earlier.
