Class Levels Terminology
Many clubs use "Class Levels" as a curriculum to help train pathfinders in a variety of educational, spiritual, and physical areas. For many clubs "Class Levels" forms the "template" or "lesson plan" for the year. Many staff enjoy the structure provided by "Class Levels," since it helps them create a organized plan of fun activities without spending many needless hours in "prep time." Instead, they are able to take the Class Levels framework and let loose their creativity in making the Class Levels exciting and interactive for their pathfinders.




There is some terminology used in Pathfinders to describe Class Levels ranks:

Friend -- Fifth Grade

Companion -- Sixth Grade

Explorer -- Seventh Grade

Ranger -- Eighth Grade

Voyager -- Ninth Grade

Guide -- Tenth Grade

Master Guide -- The top award granted to Pathfinder ministry. This indicates a person's commitment to the ideals of Pathfindering and to the Pathfinder organization and often requires two or more years to complete.
