Excerpts from Course Director Ed Dibble's Closing Address, Sunday, September 20, 2009:
"Congratulations participants of NE-III-188. The Wood Badge emblem is now complete, all the pieces are in place. The same is true of our Wood Badge course--the sessions are over, the challenges have been met, the hopes for meaningful experiences have been fulfilled. Take what you have learned here and make it your own. Carry this knowledge with you wherever you go. Use it to strengthen Scouting and to make this a better world."

So, now participants, work your ticket with all of your might, the rewards are yours to enjoy. Not beads of wood...but the Good Lord saying you've been "important in the life of a boy."
