Fayette Scouter Wins Wood Badge At Court of Honor

Oak Hill Methodist Church hosted a Court of Honor where Scoutmaster Bradford Smith of Troop 110 received the Wood Badge Award. District training chairman Hank Webb presented the insignia with the neckerchief and woggle by district committee members Jack Gunnoe and Fred Sizemore. Mrs. Smith received a red rose from Rosser Long, Buckskin Council president, as attendees heard of the wife’s sacrifice for Wood Badge. The award followed an eight day and night training in the woods near Camp Falling Rock, Rocky Gap, Ohio, plus years of work and service. The Wood Badge program traces to Baden-Powell with roots at Gitwell Park, England.
