Title: OT- BSA training
Post by: Walkman on April 07, 2008, 02:06:56 AM
I'm heading out Monday for a week of BSA Wood Badge training. From what I've heard WB is great leadership training for all areas of life. When I get back I'll post some impressions about what I've learned and how we can apply this to CAP leadership.

I took the course back in 1964 (and that's not a misprint) while stationed in Panama.  Great experience.  Got my beads three years later.  In 1980 I assisted in a course and got my 3rd bead.  Another great experience.  I'm sure the course has changed somewhat over the years but you're going to enjoy the ride.

Great week!

I was in the Beaver Patrol.

I've got some thoughts I'm going to post about leadership once I get myself situated again.

I'd say that beavers beat owls and antelope as well in the coolness factor.  :D

We had a very cool patrol. We pretty much dominated everything (games and such). AND we performed the ONLY flag ceremony that wasn't sloppy and embarassing (helps to have several people with some sort of military background).

Yeah, it's going to take a little while to work my ticket...
