THE NAVIGATOR PROGRAM

Boys in the Navigators Patrol range in age from 11 to 14 years old. They will become competent in the outdoor program through learning the nine Ready Trailman required Trail Badges and participating in the outdoor program. 

Navigators participate in a true outdoor program with hiking, camping, and other activities. They are in more of a learning mode, developing their core skills with adequate supervision and easing gracefully into camping by patrols. As they climb through the ranks of Recruit Trailman, Able Trailman, and Ready Trailman, they will lay a safe and comfortable foundation for the challenges of the Navigator Program.

Twice a month the Navigators Trailman works on required badges. Once a month he joins with the Adventurers in planning for special activities and outdoor adventures.  If a Navigators Trailman misses out on badge work during the meetings, he can work on his requirements outside of meetings with his Mentor.
