WOODBADGE
The woodbadge is the sign worn by adults to show they have completed training in their Scouting Association and is recognised worldwide. It is issued by the Training Commissioner on behalf of the World Bureau. The story of the woodbadge dates back to the first training courses run by Baden-Powell in Gilwell Park. If you would like to read more on the Origins of the Woodbadge, click here
The story of the woodbadge also says that a woodbadage is only presented from around the neck of another woodbadge holder and that this creates an unbroken link from the first woodbadge presented by Baden Powell way back in 1919. When awarded with the woodbadge you are entitled to wear the Gilwell Scarf.
