Wood Badge is an advanced national Leadership Training available to leaders within Scouting America. While it is a National course, it is administered the Council level.   So each council has their own traditions and history with the course.  This is a small attempt to tell the story of Wood Badge in the Middle Tennessee Council, through Course and Staff photos, while letting the articles in Scouting Magazine and Jet Trails tell the story of major changes in the course content.  This is the legacy of Leadership in the Middle Tennessee Council by those who wear those wo tiny beads. 

This is split into ranges of years that all have the similar course content.
