Scouter Trail provides Scouters with the tools, resources, and inspiration they need to lead with confidence and create impactful Scouting experiences, all based on the proven framework of Wood Badge training.
Scouter Trail is brought to you by Scouter Joel, whose passion for scouting runs deep. His journey began in his early childhood, sparked by a family legacy of service and leadership within the scouting movement. Inspired by the examples of his father and grandfather, both dedicated volunteer leaders, Joel embraced the opportunities and challenges that scouting offered.
He progressed through the program, developing essential life skills and leadership qualities, ultimately earning the highest youth award achievable, the Chief Scout award. That early experience ignited a lifelong commitment.
Today, that commitment continues, as Joel serves as a leader, empowering youth and sharing the enduring lessons he learned throughout his own scouting journey.
The principles of Wood Badge I and Wood Badge II are at the heart of Scouter Trail. This site is designed to be a living example of the Wood Badge framework, translating the concepts of experiential learning, peer support, and iterative Plan-Do-Review cycles into practical resources for Scouters. We strive to provide the tools and support that Scouters need to continuously develop their skills, mirroring the emphasis on personal progression that is central to the Wood Badge program.
