A Unique Gift for your Woodbadge Course Director

All Scout Leaders are familiar with the origin of the Wood Badge Award and Chieftain Dinizulu’s necklace. You can now purchase a handmade replica of that famous necklace! This unique creation will be treasured by any Wood Badge Course Director, Wood Badge Award presentation team or  scouting history aficionado.

I personally manufacture each bead by hand out of select hardwoods and string them in a unique and colorful order.  A basic necklace contains two hundred beads made of two select hardwoods. Each bead is similar in exact size of “official” presentation beads, with one exception. I do not notch the end of the bead because I do not want them to be confused with award beads!

I hand-craft these necklaces with two or more hardwood selections consisting of 200 beads. All featured necklaces contain two to five hardwood selections and are about 60 inches in length. I utilize waxed ‘sinew’ for strength and durability instead of a leather thong. The recipient of this “one of a kind” creation will treasure the gift, the artistry and uniqueness as well as the historical significance for years to come.
