Teen Leaders

The Teen Leadership Training (TLT) program, a product of the North American Division Pathfinder Council, is for those in grades 9-12 who wish to advance into leadership position. This program is a four-year course includes all aspects of Pathfinder Club management, programming and operations, and is designed to encourage teens to explore and develop their talents in leadership, planning, and social skills. This program is optional, and some Pathfinder teens may choose not to take part or may not be ready for leadership roles or handle responsibilities. For those Pathfinder teens, they would remain Pathfinders and use the Voyager or Guide curriculum.
