Tess,

Back in England, the land for the 1st wood badge course taught by Baden Powell was in Gilwell, and was donated by a MacLaren. Since then, all wood badgers recieve in addition to their beads, a necker with a swatch of MacLaren Plaid as a way to honor the donor. Scouters who have taken Wood Badge and completed their ticket have the option to join Clan MacLaren as an associate.
