In order to gain the “Wood Badge” you will need to complete a series of Modules appropriate to your Role. These can involve drawing on your past experiences or training, or attending courses run specifically designed for Scouting and are held locally within Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. To help you to do this you will be guided through your training by a Training Adviser who will guide you through the preparation of a personal Learning Plan, assess what you have achieved and validate the Modules for you.
The following is a list of the Modules, but do not worry about it being a bit long – you will not have to do all of them, only the ones appropriate to your role.
