Joining a Local Pathfinders Club

​

Pathfinders is for those who are 10 years old or in the fifth (5th) grade through the eighth (8th) grade. Fifth and sixth graders are often referred to as "Junior" Pathfinders, and 7th and 8th graders are often referred to as "Teen" Pathfinders.

The Teen Leadership Training (TLT) program works closely with the Pathfinder program and is for high school students (grades 9-12).
