    Wood Badge    
   
After the 1971 camp season, the very first Wood Badge course was held in August at Camp Lowden. It was a full-time course with Robert I. Walter as course director. Other Blackhawk staffers were Russ Reimer and Hank Stewart.

In that course were several from out-of-council, but council scouters included:
   
    Gale Schmig
Ben Adams
George Ames
Bryce Russell
Dennis Hayes
Lenny Peterson
Irv Stewart
George Spengler
Ev Worrell
   
         
    This course paved the way for the many that have followed.
