Camp George Thomas

Back in
1911, Baden-Powell began training Scouting's adult leaders
by organizing a series of lectures for scouters. He made great strides in
the years that followed, culminating in 1919 with the establishment of
the first Wood Badge training course. That first course was held at
Gilwell Park, north of London England. Since then every place in the world where
the Wood Badge course is presented is temporarily named Gilwell and in the
Last Frontier Council, Camp George Thomas has been the site of
Gilwell for many years.
