Complete Pathfinder Uniform Guide

The uniform makes the organization real and visible. It represents an ideal and a standard. One of the ways to set up a standard and bring the members of an organization up to that standard is through the uniform. It should stimulate loyalty toward that standard by building morale and binding members into closer fellowship. It also appeals to those not already members to join. The uniform strengthens club spirit. The uniform should always be clean and neat. Wearing one that fits properly will go a long way to make it look sharp. The uniform should be worn with “humble pride.”

We should remember that it acts as a visual announcement of Pathfinder ministry, and should draw questions from observers concerning the meaning of each patch and symbol.

When the Uniform Should Be Worn

It is recommended that those having uniforms wear them on the following occasions.

• At Pathfinder meetings

• At special programs (Pathfinder Day, Induction, Investiture, etc.)

• At any public gathering when any or all act as

  • Messengers

When the Uniform Should Not be Worn
