Resources

Curriculum

The Pathfinders in Australia and New Zealand currently have the choice of three curriculums

Traditional Card System
Speciality
‘Way to Go’ Way-to-Go-Program

No curriculum method is perfect. They all have weaknesses and the attitude of the club director, teachers and staff really make a big difference in the way they operate.

Each have resources. The best resources available to Pathfinder leaders is the over 400 different activities that have been developed for the ‘Way to Go’ program.

The Sydney Pathfinder Advisory formed a subcommittee to compare the Traditional system with the ‘Way to Go’. These are the two main curriculums used in our conference. One of the outcomes of the subcommittee is a listing of resources that that is available for usage by staff using the card system

This document (Resourcing Card Curriculum) shares with you the resources that do line up with card requirements. It opens up a whole new resource that will help you to keep Pathfinder engaging for the participants.
