Lord Baden-Powell organised and ran the first training course
for Scouters at Gilwell Park in England in 1919. At the end of the course, to
celebrate the fellowship of Scouting, he invested the Scouters as members of
the 1st Gilwell Park Troop by presenting them with two each from a set of Zulu
beads he had received as a gift when he was in Africa. The tradition has
continued to this day around the world.
Today, Scouters who
complete their Wood Badge Training receive the "Gilwell" Scarf and a
leather thong containing two wooden beads. These are the mark of an
individual who has invested the time needed to complete the training.
Each year, Gilwell Reunions are held as an
opportunity for those who have completed their Wood-badge (aka Gilwellians) to
meet together again.These Reunions are planned for and by Gilwellians. Scout
Reserve and all Gilwellians are invited to attend. The Gilwell weekend has
grown this year in attendance and currently has almost 1200 participants. Hope
we will You are warmly welcome at the all Sri Lankan Wood Badge Holders in this
Reunion ....
