So You Want to Go to Wood Badge: Part 2 - What to Wear


What to Wear to Wood Badge: Boy Scout Uniform

For some, it's no sweat. For others, it's a big deal, but it should never be a deal-breaker! Regardless of whether you fall in the former or latter category, here's the skinny on what to wear to Wood Badge:

Boy Scout Leader Uniform


Preferred attire at Wood Badge is the complete Class A Scout Uniform...however, if all you have access to is a Scout Shirt, you will still fit right in! 

A complete uniform includes the official shirt for your current scouting position, official long pants, BSA socks, and an official BSA belt. You can view the BSA Uniform Inspection Sheet here.

When you arrive at Wood Badge, you will be provided with a special neckerchief, slide and a Wood Badge baseball cap.

Something else to think about: for our November Course, weather can (and usually does) vary widely, so it's a good idea to bring warm base layers, a jacket, a heavy coat and warm gloves! And if you have one, a mountain man capote makes frosty mornings much more comfortable.
