Pathfinders have a challenging program appropriate for their age group. It is a
three-year program and is divided into 4
Emblems. These emblems are then divided into Topics
or Pathways. Each Pathway has many different challenges girls can choose from to
complete their program. She will have the opportunity to try new tasks and challenges,
broadening her horizons, and participating in community service. This program has
many chances for the girls to work on their own or with their peers, while having
fun and socializing.
Two other sections of the program are Leadership
and Camping. Each individual girl can choose to
follow either Path or if time permits, to complete both. Pathfinders, who choose
the camp emblem, organize and attend weekend camps, canoe and/ or backpacking trips.
Girls in their third year of Pathfinders are also invited to attend inter-provincial
camps as a Patrol of 8 girls and 2 Guiders or as individuals.
International trips sometimes come up for the Pathfinder nearing the end of her
program.
