Wood Badge 2025 – The Ultimate Training Experience
Register Now
Deadline to register is August 17, 2025.
What is Wood Badge?
Reflecting on the best of 115 years of Scouting experiences, Wood Badge draws upon the most current leadership models used by corporate America, academic circles, and other successful public and private organizations.
Wood Badge is designed to meet the advanced leadership needs of all Scouters, including Cub Scout leaders, Scoutmasters and Assistants, Venturing Crew Advisors, Sea Scout Skippers, Committee Chairs, and Committee Members. Additionally, Scouters serving at the District and Council levels can achieve greater effectiveness through Wood Badge.
Why attend Wood Badge?
By taking Wood Badge, Scouters gain valuable skills like listening, communicating, conflict management, project planning, and leading change. Participants learn how to be a better Scout leader, professional, and person. Attending Wood Badge will help you learn the what and why of Scouting and to build your unit into a stronger unit. Units with trained leaders are able to deliver an improved program and a more meaningful experience for the youth Scouting serves.

2025 Takhonek Lodge Dues
Register Now
Deadline to pay 2025 dues is November 30, 2025.
The Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s Honor Society, is made up of thousands of great Scouts and Scouters, just like you. You are an Arrowman and we ask that you continue your support for the Order of the Arrow and it’s worthy goals which are more important now than ever.
Think back to your Ordeal. Remember the Obligation and Admonition. Remember… “The ones who choose you, need you.”
Dues for 2025 are $15 per lodge member.
Fox Pass is $60 per lodge member.
*All Dues and Fox Pass payments must be completed through this online link.*
Why do I need to pay dues to remain a member of the lodge?
Just like your home scouting unit, everyone in the Scouts BSA recharters on an annual basis. By paying your annual dues you are entitled to attend lodge, section, and national events, wear the official lodge flap, and participate in your chapter meetings and activities. The stronger we are, the more help we can provide to our local units and the Buckskin Council.
What is a Fox Pass?
The Fox Pass can be purchased by any dues paying lodge member. It’s no secret that over the last year or so prices on everything have increased. Those increases affect our lodge event budgets the same way they affect your household budget. All weekend long events will cost $20 and the one-day events will cost $10 if registered for individually. If you register in the last week prior to an event, there will be a late fee charged. The late fee will be $10 for weekend events and $5 for one-day events. By purchasing the Fox Pass, you pay less for each event, and you will avoid all late fees. If you register for each event individually, it will cost you $80 over the year. If you purchase a Fox Pass, the cost is only $60.
Think of it as a “Season Pass” for the lodge events.
This year we will only be selling 75 Fox Passes. This is a first come, first served sale.
The benefits to purchasing a Fox Pass:
- You are prepaying for ALL 2025 lodge events in advance and at a reduced price. (Excludes Vigil/Vigil Reunion, section, and national events.)
- It is a $20 savings verses paying for each event individually.
- If you are unable to attend an event, you will still receive the patch for that event.
- Avoid late fees for events.
What is included in the Fox Pass:
- AIA/ICE Weekend
- Spring Ordeal and Brotherhood
- Lodge Summer Picnic
- Fall Ordeal and Brotherhood
- Lodge Winter Banquet
**Special Note: If you are currently an Ordeal member and purchase a Fox Pass, there will be an additional $30 fee if you plan to obtain your Brotherhood in 2025. This is a $15 savings over the cost for non-Fox Pass Brotherhood candidates. The fee will be paid at the time you register for the event.
