Overview of the Certification
This certification is intended to provide basic information about the purpose, structure and ministry of Pathfinders to individuals who are just starting out in Pathfinder Ministry and have little or no prior experience with the program. It is highly recommended that this certification is earned before they begin their participation in Pathfinder Ministry.
The Pathfinder Club Basic Staff Training Certification (PBST) is also an option for club ministry training of Master Guide, and such, participants may have a background in Pathfinders, but it is likely to be entirely as a participating member, not as a leader.
