My course number, NE-II-103, which stands for- Northeast Region, Area 2, course 103. There were 7 members of the Antelope Patrol and I served as Patrol Leader on Day Two.At the end of our course I was elected permanent Patrol Leader.

22. Conclusion
The Wood Badge emblem is complete. All the pieces are in place. The same is true of our Wood Badge course – the sessions are over, the challenges have been met, the hopes for meaningful experiences have been fulfilled. Take what you have learned here and make it your own. Carry this knowledge with you wherever you go. Use it to strengthen Scouting and to make this a better world.
When you arrived on Day One of this course, one of the first things that happened was that you were given a pen just like this one. (Show the audience a pen.)
A pen is a simple invention, really, used by millions of people. But words depend not on the pen itself, but on the person who holds it.
In the hand of Kathryn Lee Bates, a pen wrote the words to "America the Beautiful."
In the hand of a red-headed lawyer from Virginia, a pen wrote the words to one of the greatest documents in history, The Declaration of Independence.
In the hand of a tall, tired president, a pen wrote, “Fourscore and seven years ago..." – The Gettysburg Address.
In the hand of Robert Baden-Powell, a simple pen outlined the precepts of an exciting program for boys, the forerunner of today's Scouting movement.
Now the pen is in your hand, and the words it will write depend on you. You've used it already to write your Wood Badge ticket, bringing new understanding to your values, mission, and vision.
And now it is time for you to begin building your legacy. What that legacy will be is up to you, and you alone. You have the power. You have the skill. The future is waiting for you to begin.

But now, the pen is in your hand, and the words that it will write depend on you. Your legacy is yours to write, and yours alone. You have the power. You have you skill. The future is waiting for you to begin.
