What’s Your Calling
Below you will find out how your calling can benefit from going to Wood Badge. There are beneficial reasons for nearly every calling and position in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Stake President
As a zone commissioner in Scouting, Stake Presidents have the opportunity to follow the counsel from many General Authorities and leaders of the church to encourage all Scouting leaders to be trained in their positions. It will also help them to see the value of the Scouting Program as it is meant to be. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has endorsed the scouting program for over 100 years. It’s time EVERY scout leader in the Church see firsthand the reasons why.
Young Men Presidencies
These individuals are called to serve in the Aaronic Priesthood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They also fulfill responsibilities as the Venture Crew Advisor, Varsity Coach and Scoutmaster. Charles Dahlquist II said that going to Wood Badge will help us learn our duty to keep the youth involved and excited about the program.
Young Women Presidencies
Even though the Young Women President and her counselors have no direct correlation to the Scouting program in the Ward, the lessons at Wood Badge can help these leaders understand how to react in certain situations. Each Young Women’s class is organized similar to a Patrol in the BSA. Wood Badge can help you teach these girls how to have Presidency Meetings (Patrol Meetings in Wood Badge) as well as teaching the Presidents how to lead the girls in their class through delegating assignments.
Primary Presidency
You are responsible for the Cub Scout and 11 year old Scout programs in your ward. What better way to learn about them all at once, then to attend Wood Badge! You will see the program as it applies to cubs all the way through their scouting world. This will help you better prepare them for the future and feel Heavenly Father’s love through the scouting program.
Stake Primary Presidency
You are responsible for providing ongoing encouragement, support and instruction for your ward presidencies. Often you serve as Unit Commissioners. Having a working knowledge of all the facets of the scouting program will allow you to be better support for your ward auxiliaries. You will practice amazing leadership skills that will help you teach and lead adult leaders.
Bishops
Bishops are the Institutional Head of their Unit. They work directly with the young men and oversee the individuals acting as Scoutmasters, Varsity Coaches and Crew Advisors. After going through Wood Badge, they will understand how valuable the youth leaders can be in inspiring young men forever.
Bishopric Counselors
You are an important part of the Aaronic Priesthood organization in your ward. You are also an example to the Young Men’s leaders. They will follow your example as you attend Wood Badge and become better at working with youth leaders.
High Council & Stake YM Presidencies
These individuals often serve as Unit Commissioners. Their responsibility is to help answer questions through a support role of the Regional Districts. It is hard to understand how to help with situations when there has been no training for them at the level to give help and feedback.
Cub Scout Leaders
You get the privilege of working with these young boys every week! Wood Badge will help you see them in a new light and realize their potential as future leaders. You will be better prepared to encourage and help them along their scouting trail. As Baden Powell (the founder of scouting) said, “Scouting is a game with a purpose!” After attending Wood Badge you will have more fun with your boys and have more purpose to your games and activities!
Boy/Cub Scout Committee
Your primary role is to be a mentor and coach to the youth leaders in your ward. Wood Badge will teach you how to better fulfill that role and help them become better leaders. You will learn ways to help them see their potential and give them the support and skills needed to be successful youth leaders now and adult leaders later.
Don’t Take Our Word For It…
Here are just a few individuals that recommend Wood Badge training.
Instead of worrying about one person from a ward and two persons from a stake attending Wood Badge, why don’t we just commit to get every leader trained, including Fast Start, Youth Protection, Basic Training and Wood Badge immediately after they are called.
Charles W. Dahlquist IIThis is coming from our Church leaders. They are not asking me if I would like to go to training if I have time. They’re saying that all those with responsibility for young men have a duty to be fully trained in Scouting and Aaronic Priesthood in order to help strengthen and save our youth.
Christopher M. GrimesTraining is essential to understanding Scouting and feeling confident that we can implement the program. Training motivates us to succeed because as we develop a degree of mystery, we gain confidence that we really can be successful Scout Leaders.
