I was inspired by my desire to become a more skilled and confident scout leader. Wood Badge training offers the knowledge, leadership skills and practical experience needed to guide young scouts better. By participating, I hope to strengthen our troop, mentor future leaders, and serve our school and community with greater purpose and commitment.

Through Wood Badge, I learned and sharpened essential scouting skills, including leadership, teamwork, communication, planning, camping, first aid, knot tying, and outdoor survival. I also learned how to mentor young scouts, solve problems, and lead by example. Above all, I learned that scouting builds character, discipline, and a lasting spirit of service.

I applied for the Wood Badge programme and was selected by the Bhutan Scout Association. After receiving confirmation, I informed my school management and fellow scout leaders, made arrangements for my duties, and registered for the training. I then attended the sessions, completed the assigned activities, and prepared to apply my learning in our scout troop.
