Having a knot for those of us who have completed the training, and be able to distinguish the difference between two, three, and four bead recipients.

This can be done a couple of ways:

1) Have a "base knot" for just completing the course, and devices for staff and scoutmasters.
or,
2) Have three different knots. The square knot would be the same for all three (because they'd all be woodbadge) and have the borders be different. A tan for completion, silver mylar for staff, and gold mylar for scoutmasters (for example).

This suggestion has been made before. Wood Badge already has appropriate recognition; the neckerchief, leather thong and wooden beads. If there was a knot created, it would be a repeat of recognition for the same thing. The number of beads is already in place as participants receive 2, staff 3 and Scoutmasters 4.
Many of the files we are sent either from the higher-ups at National Supply, National Council, and the local councils we work with are using .docx, .pptx, .one, etc. It would be nice to be able to read these files with out having to bring my personal laptop into work with me so that I can read vital information.

My thought for this comes from working at a store. I would like to show that I've compleated the training, but wearing the beads isn't practical; they get caught on everything.
