Awardee Expectations
All Scouts and Scouters who receive a scholarship are expected to complete the training course and deliver those lessons to their unit in order to build a stronger Scouting experience for all.  Wood Badge participants are expected to give back by becoming and maintaining membership in the Gilwell Society, so that the other Scouters may benefit similarly in the future.
