Welcome to Wood Badge 2139
From our Course Director Justin Power
I am extremely excited for you to meet the staff we have assembled and welcome you to Camp George Thomas for what will likely be one of the highlights of your Scouting experience. The staff began preparing for your course in October and you are going to enjoy learning and growing with this fine group of experienced Scouters. The first weekend, your time will be filled with instruction in various leadership and team skills and staff members will prepare all meals. The second weekend, you will camp and cook as a patrol using the principles of Leave No Trace.
During the Wood Badge course, please wear the complete official BSA uniform (including BSA uniform pants/shorts) of your position in Scouting. If you serve in more than one capacity (as both an assistant Scoutmaster and a Cubmaster, for example), wear the uniform representing the position in which you are most active.

I join the rest of the WB-2139 staff in welcoming you to the upcoming course. It will be a “mountaintop experience” for all of us and I’m excited to see the impact we have on Scouting youth in our council.
