Every two years Scouters gather on a little patch of grass and sun, usually at a Scout camp somewhere, and embark on the adventure that is Wood Badge.
Another Wood Badge writer I admire has said "It is a place that connects us to the past, present and future of Scouting. For when you stand on Gilwell, you stand where hundreds have stood before and where tens of thousands stand across the world."
To those who choose to join us on this trail, you step onto the field as the future of the program. On day 6 when you leave, you will depart but never really be gone, for then your mark will be there, and your path and your legacy will be the blazes on the trail for others to follow.
You stand now on the edge of a pool of calm water where even the smallest stone can have an effect. This is the change you can make, the difference you can be.
But nothing will happen without taking action. So, take up the stone.
You've got to throw the stone to get the pool to ripple.
Join us for the adventure, the moment, the premiere Scouting event that is Wood Badge, at the place that will be forever yours to call, Gilwell.
