Pathfinder Troop
“Be Prepared”
The Pathfinder section is open to boys and girls ages 11 through 17. The emphasis is on training through hands-on, outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, canoeing and backpacking. Pathfinder Troops will operate in Patrols of 6 to 8 members, led by a Patrol Leader who shares responsibility with an adult leader for discipline, activity planning, and training the less-experienced members. The program is based upon Robert Baden-Powell‘s book, Scouting for Boys.
