"This certification is authorized for use by those who have not yet become invested Master Guides. It is intended to provide a basic understanding of Pathfinder Ministry and its component parts. Ideally it should be earned before a new staff member actually takes up duties with a club. While there is some value in repeating these seminars every five years or so, especially if taught by a different instructor, it should not be used as repeat yearly training. This is true for any training curriculum. This revised BST Curriculum was approved by the NAD Pathfinder Committee in 2005 with action PA 2005-06."
