About This Item

Back to Gilwell! Travel Bug

The travel bug consists of an enamel pin with a portrait of Lord Baden Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, attached to the travel bug "dog tag."

This travel bug was created by a member of the Bear Patrol of Wood Badge training course WE3-41-03, which was put on by the Redwood Empire and Marin Councils of the Boy Scouts of America on two weekends, one at Camp Masonite-Navarro in Mendicino County, California and one at Camp Tamarancho in Marin County, California, between Sept. 5 and Sept. 21, 2003.

Wood Badge training is advanced adult leadership training and its spiritial home is Gilwell Park in England, where Lord Baden Powell first started training adult leaders in the ways of Boy Scouting. Today, regardless of where the Wood Badge training occurs (and it's taught all over the globe!), it's called "Gilwell Field" and the participants sign a song called "Back to Gilwell."

Hence, this Baden Powell travel bug is, with your assistance, going "Back to Gilwell!"

Wow! If you've been travelling since October 2003 you've sure taken a long time to get up not so many miles. Perhaps you got stuck somewhere. Hopefully you will make some big moves soon and make it back to Gilwell! We discovered you at the Toowoomba Cacher's 5th Pub Lunch in the State of Queensland, Australia.
