Pathfinder Club
SOUTHPOINT PATHFINDER HAPPENINGS
The number one goal of Florida Pathfinders is to develop disciples for Jesus. Pathfinders are encouraged to complete their Levels studies to learn more about Jesus, by digging deep into the Bible and into God's second book, nature.
In an effort to make the levels fit Florida's unique Pathfinder ministry, changes were made to all six of the North American Division (NAD) levels, two more levels were added, and the age to begin Master Guide was raised. For this reason, our edited levels are called "Florida Levels" Here is an outline of the changes:
- E-TRACKER: Friend, Companion, Explorer, & Ranger: The NAD give many options for the completion of the Basic Level Study, which often causes confusion. To avoid this confusion, Florida has simplified the process by listing specific requirements (no options) to complete the Basic and Advanced Levels. Keep in mind that the teacher helps and student diaries currently available are all based on the NAD "options method" of completion.
- VARSITY: Voyager, Pioneer, Navigator, & Guide: Two more levels were created to cover all four grades of secondary education. Due to the fact that these levels of study are for "high school-aged" Pathfinders, Florida Conference Pathfinders felt that Pioneer and Navigator should be more spiritually focused, and that the young people working on them should be able to complete them on their own. The NAD levels of Voyager and Guide were also drastically overhauled (with the exception of a few requirements) to follow the same approach. Keep in mind that the teacher helps and student diaries currently available for Voyager and Guide are based on the NAD requirements.
- OTHER : TLT (Teen Leadership Training), Master Guide, PIA (Pathfinder Instructor Award), PLA (Pathfinder Leadership Award)
