What is Linked Troop Wood Badge?
Wood Badge is an immersive, advanced leadership training experience with a BSA unit structure. The weeklong Linked Troop Model Course offers Wood Badge training within a linked unit structure—two single-gender troops with a shared committee. This allows for smaller group learning as well as integrated experiences and activities—just like the Linked Troop model provides for Scouts in our program.
