Welcome to Bobwhite 78's Wood Badge Critter Beads Page



After almost 15 years of providing Wood Badge Critter Beads to Cubbers, Scouters, and Venturing Leaders around the world, I'm calling it quits.

I've always run this enterprise on the tenets of the Scout Law, and have recently suffered from Wood Badgers who are not Trustworthy.

I've also noticed there are more and more Wood Badgers whose actions show they believe Courtesy is optional.

The pleasure of providing "cool stuff" no longer outweighs the pain of dealing with the current crop of boneheads. I know it's a minority, but it's a minority that's growing daily and I choose to leave the campfire circle before I lose all positive memories of Wood Badge.

I'll keep processing orders as long as I have merchandise, but it won't be long. Course Quartermasters - sorry, but I can't do course orders any more. My stockage of some critters is already too low.

They were at the 2005 National Jamboree, they're at camporees, roundtables, and Wood Badge courses everywhere...

But where the heck do they come from???

Well, now you can see what all the different critters look like, and what they look like when they're made into "critter bead" sets!


Please note the critter beads are ceramic beads, not wooden beads!
