Welcome, Pathfinder!

Lily: "Pathfinders help find the way, for everyone!"

This book is for Rangers aged about 11 to 13. It has everything in the Trail Seekers book, plus: - Ranger First Aid (11+): real first-aid skills, from checking the scene to CPR, choking and bleeding. Read it, then practise with a trained grown-up or a real course. - Knife safety and campfires (with a grown-up present). - "Growing up safely" boxes (12+): honest information about staying safe from false offers, recruitment and early marriage. - 🥈 Silver badges: you did it for real, with a grown-up.

The Ranger Promise and the Five Ranger Rules still guide everything (see the Trail Seekers book). You're old enough now to help younger Rangers learn them too.

Growing up safely (12+)

Some boxes in this book are marked 12+. They talk about real dangers older kids may meet. You never have to face these alone: if anything worries you, tell a trusted grown-up. It is never your fault.
