SCOUTING VOLUNTEER EARNS WOOD BADGE TRAINING AWARD

 


            Donna DiGiovanni of the Fox Patrol was presented with her Wood Badge Beads, neckerchief, woggle and certificate in special ceremonies at Troop 403’s June Court of Honor, held at Christ Lutheran Church in East Northport on June 17, 2013.  This recognition was the culmination of a combination "learning/hands-on applications" time management and training course that is available to its adult scouting volunteer leaders by the Boy Scouts of America.
            Kings Park resident Mrs. DiGiovanni is a scouting volunteer, serving as a Committee Member in Troop 403 and Pack 403 in Commack/East Northport in the Matinecock District.  She participated in two weekend-long outdoors sessions in the Wood Badge Course N7-404-11-1 for the group-participation instructional section at held at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp.  The course was conducted in September and October of 2011.  In order to complete the training, the scouting volunteer leaders had to apply what had been learned in a variety of self-directed goals (the practical part of the course) within 18 months, which was accomplished in March of 2013. This was the "Wood Badge for the 21st Century -- a new and updated Wood Badge Course, which was in place since 2001”.
