ScoutBox Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, I'm headed to Wood Badge in a week and a half. I got my list from the Director, and was wondering if there are any special items you might suggest I bring to make my course a better and happy one? Thanks in advance ScoutBox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSScout Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What she said. And Duct Tape. Can't go wrong with one extra roll of Duct tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKlose Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 It's funny, but our equipment list suggested bringing a pad to sit on. I think I might have been the only person that did, and I was not only glad to have done so, I had to deflect all those envious looks and comments.

jhankins Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Very cool course logo! We're using a variation on the 100th theme. That, and our course director plays bagpipes and can be seen in a kilt on a regular basis, so the highland games and all things scottish are present on our course! The others have covered almost everything. Packing is really more important the 2nd weekend. Candy to suck on, something salty too. Some of the days get pretty long and the extra sugar and salt will help keep you alert for the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutBox Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Well, this is a one week course, so I will have to get it right the first time.. so you suggest bringing sweets? Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhankins Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Oops, apologies, I assumed everyone does split weekends Ya, sweets help. Do you have to pack your food for the outdoor experience, or are they providing it all? Having some fun treats for your patrol to share over the campfire/propane tank is always nice for the end of the day. Some people bring 2 chairs. One for your campsite, one for Gilwell Hall use. Supplies to make your patrol flag look amazing help -- markers and feathers and doodads (only if you have them lying around in your scout-filled garage).

Roadkill Patrol Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for some of these ideas. I am headed to Wood Badge on 8/20 and again on 8/27 for the two weekend deal. I have not received any kind of list of stuff to bring, although I have been hounding the council rep for the info. They said it would be coming soon, but that was weeks ago. We were suppose to get this "list" when we registered for the course, which was back in May. Not a whole lot of communication going on regarding the course I am taking. So again, thanks for your ideas so I can start my own list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
