Wood Badge is the Boy Scouts of America's ultimate leadership training designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of Scouters in all aspects of the BSA, whether unit, district, or council level – from assistant den leaders to Scoutmasters, from Cubmasters to Venturing Advisors, from committee members to commissioners. It is a fun, energetic and inspiring course guaranteed to infuse your unit with fun and meaning – all designed to fulfill the mission of the BSA, and ensure our youth is getting everything they are promised from the program.

Here is a link for climbing training. It helps the Troop to have adults trained in climbing to help the Troop be able to organize and schedule our annual climbing camp out. Please check out the link below to get information about the training requirements and schedule.

Help us provide good programming for our scouts.

Qualified Shooting Sports adults are needed to allow the Troop to have shooting sport camps. This requires special training to meet BSA requirements. Please talk with the Scoutmaster if you are interested or willing to attend these trainings.

For all scouts and adults who are members of the Order of the Arrow, there is a monthly chapter meeting at the same time and location as the District Roundtable meeting. Troop 56's does not have a current OA troop representative. Please talk with the Scoutmaster if you have interest in this position. The District committee meeting takes place the second Thursday of the month at 7:00pm at Strawbridge United Methodist (5629 Kingwood Dr, Kingwood, TX 77345). Chapter meetings provide an opportunity for the youth to develop a plan to support units in the district, promote upcoming events, participate in ceremony team preparation and regalia building, learn leadership skills and have fun.

Participant registration is now open for the 2021 National Jamboree, to be held July 21–30, 2021, at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, the BSA’s high-adventure base in West Virginia. Register today at:
