Pathfinder Honors

There are well over 300 Honors available to Pathfinders, appealing to a wide range of interests, hobbies, skills and personal development. The Honors serve as one of the two pillars of the pathfinder curriculum, along with the achievement classes, and provide a large number of topics and activities to keep Pathfinders (and their staff) interested, excited, busy and learning for years.

Honors are available in eight broad categories, identifiable by their background color:
Nature: White           
Outreach Ministries: Dark Blue
Vocational: Red
Household Arts: Gold
Outdoor industries: Brown
Arts, Crafts and Hobbies: Light Blue
Health and Science: Indigo
Recreation: Green

The North American Division Pathfinder Ministries website has the honor requirements online (click here), as does the General Conference site (click here).

In addition to individual honors, Master Awards are also available for those who have achieved a number of honors in a specific category or addressing a specific interest or activity. The specific requirements for each master can be found at (click here).

Numerous Pathfinders, leaders and supporters have also developed a Wiki Book that offers helps and assistance with teaching and learning the Pathfinder Honors (click here). These should not be used as the exclusive resource, however. The purpose of the honors is to learn new information, practice new skills, experience new experiences. It is not simply to add one more felt patch to your sash. The Wiki Book is a useful resource, but do not let it become a cheat sheet or crutch. Go out and learn and have fun.
