3 Information Technology Wood Badge Solutions for the 21st Century To attend a Wood Badge course, you must: 1. Be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America. (There is no minimum tenure required.) 2.

Be capable of functioning safely in an outdoor environment. Successful completion of the BSA Annual Health and Medical Record, Part A, B, & C is required for all participants. What is WOOD BADGE? In 1911, Baden-Powell took the first steps in training Scouting s adult leaders by organizing a series of lectures for Scouters. He made great strides in the years that followed, culminating in 1919 with the establishment of Wood Badge training. Wood Badge recipients now number more than 100,000 and can be found in all corners of the world. What Will You Get Out of WOOD BADGE? As a result of attending Wood Badge, you will be able to: View Scouting globally, as a family of interrelated, valuesbased programs that provide age-appropriate activities for youth. Recognize the contemporary leadership concepts utilized in corporate America and leading government organizations that are relevant to our values-based movement. Apply the skills you learn from your participation as a member of a successful working team. Revitalize your commitment to Scouting by sharing in an overall inspirational experience that helps provide Scouting with the leadership it needs to accomplish its mission on an ongoing basis. How is WOOD BADGE Presented? Wood Badge consists to two phases. The first is the practical phase. This consists of two full weekends at camp plus two midweek patrol meetings between the weekends. The second, or application phase, occurs after the weekends and consists of working your ticket, a set of 5 Scoutingrelated goals. WOOD BADGE Ticket The primary purpose of the Wood Badge experience is to strengthen Scouting in units, districts, and the council. The Wood Badge ticket represents your commitment to complete a set of 5 personal goals related to your Scouting position. These goals will significantly strengthen the program in which you are involved. In addition, the ticket gives you an opportunity to practice and demonstrate a working knowledge of the leadership and team skills presented during the course. You should complete your Wood Badge ticket no later than 18 months after the practical phase of the course. Recognition Upon completion of the Wood Badge ticket, as certified by your Troop Guide and the Scout executive, you will be presented your Wood Badge certificate, neckerchief, woggle, and beads at an appropriate public ceremony. Many Scouters consider Wood Badge to be one of the highlights of their Scouting careers. It has served as a source of training and inspiration to thousands. In return, Wood Badge participants have positively affected the lives of millions of America s youth. Who Attends WOOD BADGE? Wood Badge for the 21st Century has been developed for all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing leaders, as well as council and district leaders. The course content, and team and leadership principles introduced apply to Scouters in all leadership positions.

15 CAR CONSTRUCTION SUGGESTIONS General 1. This race evolved in El Segundo over the years and has grown from a local event to a District event. It has no actual affiliation with the International Soap Box Derby. Certain rules may seem somewhat odd (e.g., no wheel bearings ), but these restrictions limit the technology, cost, and speed to reasonable levels. Safety and fun are the two most important reasons for the success of the event. 2. A Den of three or four Cubs is about the right size for a one-car effort, both in terms of the cost of building the car and racing opportunities (all cars will get at least two runs down the hill; faster cars win more races and get additional opportunities). Larger Dens may want to consider building two cars. Think of the car as an investment in a multi-year activity that your Cubs can race each summer throughout their Cubbing career. Each year, your car can be improved upon (talk to the veterans about speed tips) and become faster and more competitive. The biggest investment in time and money is the first year. Car Construction 1. The official Soap Box Derby wheels are highly recommended for a competitive car. Axles can be made from ½ inch or larger steel rod or stock. Contact a local (small) machine shop to help with the axles and bushings; they may donate their time if you tell them it is for Cubs. Bushings can be made of many materials (steel, brass, plastic, etc.). Any type of lubricant is allowed (oil, graphite, etc.). 2. A steering approach has evolved that younger Cubs feel more comfortable with than the older rope/feet method: the tiller (see illustration). The handle bar or tiller is made from ½ or 5/8 inch electrical conduit, bent to the shape shown. It is attached to the front axle 2 x 4 with carriage bolts; a wood dowel inserted into the conduit will keep the bolt from crushing the conduit. This device is recommended for younger Cubs.

16 Suggested Pacifica District Soap Box Derby Car Fasten axle to axle support with J-bolts or Electrical Conduit Clamps so axle cannot turn. Maximum wheel size is 12 diameter. Use sleeve or graphite bushings. Do not use ball or roller bearings Fasten axle to axle support with electric conduit clamps or J-bolts. The axles must be fixed so they can t turn. A seat belt is passed through slots cut in the seat back and bolted to the frame behind the seat. A rope or other device is attached securely to the front axle support for steering. NOTE: Car may be imaginatively festooned by adding custom bodywork, exhaust pipes, etc., provided the basic dimensions and material specifications shown here are adhered to. Cars lacking the materials, running gear, and safety equipment equivalent to that shown here will not be permitted to run.
