At WoodBadgeAlabama.com, we focus on upcoming wood badge courses but we also list our courses starting in 2001. Around this time was when the Wood Badge syllabus was rewritten and became what was known as Wood Badge for the 21st Century.

Of course Wood Badge has been around since 1919 in England and 1948 in the United States. I am not sure when the first course was held in what is now the Greater Alabama Council but evidence of pre-2000 courses are at Camp Jackson in Scottsboro, Alabama.

The rafters of the dining hall at Camp Jackson are filled with patrol flags from past courses and before they fall apart or get removed I wanted to make sure that they are documented and preserved electronically. Here are the flags.
