PHILOSOPHY OF MERIT SYSTEM

The ultimate goal of Pathfindering is to prepare boys and girls for the coming of the Lord. Anything short of this mark is incomplete. Every idea, plan, or approach built into the master program of the Pathfinder Club should help to develop personality and character. One area so often neglected, yet so basic to the need of personality and character development, is the practice of self-discipline or control. “The greatest danger of the young,” says Ellen G. White, “is from a lack of self-control.” – Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 243.



THE INSIGNIA

The uniform of the Pathfinder Club varies in regions or even countries around the world, but the insignia and where they are placed are well

nigh universally the same.



Designing and setting the position of the insignia and/or working any changes or additions is the responsibility of the World Pathfinder Director

and the General Conference in consultation with the divisions.



Clubs, conferences, unions and divisions may make no exceptions or variations without the definite permission from the World Pathfinder

Headquarters.



The insignia are divided into two The insignia are divided into two categories:categories:

1.1. Identification InsigniaIdentification Insignia

2. Recognition/award Insignia.2. Recognition/award Insignia.



Identification Insignia:

the group of emblems that signify the organization to which the person belongs.



Recognition/award Insignia:

These are emblems indicating class achievement,position, or special achievements in conduct or service.



IMPORTANCE OF PATHFINDER HONORS

1. The merit system challenges participation and involvement.2. It helps to develop personality and character.3. It also emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility.4. Pathfinders learn to compete against a standard rather than against oneanother.



HONOR IMPORTANCE CONTINUATION

5. The merit system develops cooperation and coordination, instead of competition.

6. It offers a legitimate and profitable reward to those who attempt to excel through individual initiative.

7. It develops an attitude of self-discipline and self-control, thus helping to insure a well-controlled club atmosphere.
