The Greater Tampa Bay Area Council has a proud tradition of adult leader training, exemplified by the many Wood Badge courses held in our current and predecessor councils. The Scouting program has been immeasurably strengthened by the hundreds of dedicated leaders who have become Wood Badge trained.
National Course 329 was held at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation in August 1968. Regional courses included 86-1 (March 1969) and R6-12 (April 1971), also at Flaming Arrow.
Gulf Ridge Council was among the early councils to offer Wood Badge training when the course was first offered at a council level. The Course Director for the first course of this type, SE-10 in 1973, was Walter J. Krohne, Jr. of Central Florida Council. The Pinellas Area Council offered its first course in 1976, with John T. Valentine, Jr. as Course Director, and held one additional course prior to becoming West Central Florida Council in 1978.
In addition to traditional assigned course numbers, since SE-54 all but one Gulf Ridge Council course was also identified according to the council camp where (at least) the first weekend of the course was held. These local designations referenced Camp Owen J. Brorein and Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation, and are shown below; this naming convention has continued for Greater Tampa Bay Area Council courses. Both SE-10 and SE-204 were held at Flaming Arrow.
Wood Badge course 16-89-23-2 will be held during fall 2023. Course details are available here.
