1. Be a baptized member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Master Guide program is open only to baptized members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The purpose of becoming a Master Guide is to become equipped to lead young people to Christ. Leading is best done by example. Getting baptized shows that a person has died to sin, has been buried, and has been resurrected into a new life as a follower of Christ.

2. Have a written recommendation from your local church board, stating that the candidate is in regular standing.

3. Be at least 16 years of age to start the Master Guide Leadership course and at least 18 years of age at completion.

This requirement means that an individual must be at least 16 years old to begin working on the Master Guide requirements, and cannot be invested as a Master Guide until age 18. In order to get the most benefit from the program, it is recommended that the candidate spend at least a year (and two years is even better) working towards the goal of becoming a Master Guide.

4. Have a completed Basic Staff Training Certification and been involved for a mimimum of one year in one of the following ministries.

a. Adventurers Ministries

b. Pathfinders Ministries

*It will be helpful for a Master Guide in training to have exposure to both ministries, Adventures and Pathfinders.
