The "WAY TO GO" Program
This is the latest Pathfinder curriculum and is based on the concept of activity
based learning theory, that the best learning is in the debriefing of the activity
that the Pathfinders have just gone through. The program has its own unique language
explaining each of the features but the Pathfinders are still invested for each
badge according to their age group. The learning takes place in the process of debriefing
and journaling that happens after each activity.
