17. WHAT ARE THE METHODS OF DISCIPLINE IN PATHFINDERING?
Do
A. Personal Counsel: In This Counseling Be Master Of The Situation. Point Out Exactly
What The Pathfinder Was Doing That Was Wrong And Ask Him/Her To Explain His
Behavior. The Pathfinder May Even Suggest A Solution. Conduct These Councils On A
Friendly Basis, But Have The Member Leave With The Understanding That You Will
Mean Business.
B. Use Group Judgment: Make An Effort To Build Up The Ideals Of Behavior To The Point
Where Any Violation Is Unacceptable To The Standard Of The Group.
Page 19 of 40
C. Take Care Of Individual Differences: In Planning Discipline, Remember That

Pathfinders Are All Different. Take Into Consideration Their Background, Their Physical
And Mental Makeup, And The Seriousness Of The Offense.
D. Expel If Necessary: When A Pathfinder Continues To Misbelieve, He Must Face The
Realization That He Is Either Going To Have To Meet The Standard Of Behavior Or Leave
The Group.
DON’T
A. Punish In Anger
B. Use Threats And Warnings That Can’t Be Carried Out.
C. Force Apologies In Public. Few Children Ever Consider Themselves Entirely To Blame,
And They Are Probably Not.
D. Detain After Club Meeting. A Rather Poor Policy Because It Causes The Pathfinder To
Dislike The Club; And It Is An Unnecessary Demand On The Counselor’s Time.
E. Assign Extra Tasks Probably The Cause Of The Trouble Is That The Pathfinder Already
Cannot Keep Up With The Tasks That He Has.

21. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADVENTURER & PATHFINDER CLUBS
The Adventurer Club Has Been Created So Younger Children May Have A Club Of Their
Own. The Programming And Planning For The Adventurer Club Should Be Simple And
Short, But Creative. In Some Ways The Pathfinder And Adventurer Clubs Are Similar,
But The Adventurer Program Is To Be Unique In Its Own Way And Should Be Kept
Separate. One Of The Adventurer Club Objectives Is To Provide A Meaningful And
Exciting Experience As The Children Look Forward With Anticipation To Being A
Pathfinder In The Future. The Pathfinder Club Is Designed To Meet The Growing Needs
Of Children Ages 10-15 By Strengthening Healthy Peer Relationships. Adventurers Is
Designed To Meet The Needs Of 4-9 Year Olds By Strengthening Their Family
Relationships. It Is Not Intended That We Duplicate All The Experiences Of Pathfindering,
But Rather That By Providing A Separate Adventurer Club Many Needs Of The Youth
Aged 6-9 Will Be Met In An Exciting And Enjoyable Way And Thus They Will Be Ready
To Fully Enjoy The Pathfinder Experience When That Time Arrives. In Many Instances
Parents Have Children In Both Clubs And May Be Involved Themselves. Therefore, It
May Be Necessary To Operate The Adventurer And Pathfinder Club Meetings At The
Same Hour And Day, But This Does Not Mean That The Clubs Should Be Combined.

38. STYLES OF LEADERSHIP
A. Autocratic

39. THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP
A. Trait Theory Teaches That Leaders Are Born, Not Made. According To Advocates
Of This Theory, People Are Born With Certain Physical Or Personality Traits That
Make Them Stand Out As A Leader.
B. The Circumstances Theory Teaches That A Leader Rises According To A Certain
Ideal Set Of Circumstances; He Or She Can Be Effective In One Circumstance While
Totally Ineffective In Another. According To This Theory Of Leadership, The
Circumstances Make (Or Break) The Leader.
C. The Function Theory Teaches That Leadership Consists Of Certain Behaviors Or
Functions That Groups Need Performed. These Functions Are Identifiable Behaviors
That Can Be Learned By Any Person; Therefore, All Can Improve Their Potential As
Leaders By Learning To Perform These Key Functions More Effectively. The Trait
And Circumstance Theories Hold That Unless You Have Certain Traits Or You Are In
A Given Circumstance You Cannot Be A Leader. Function Theory Opens The Door
To Anyone To Become A Leader. Two Important Factors That Are Consistently
Associated With The Function Theory Of Leadership Are:
(A) Task Orientation, And
(B) People Orientation.
These Two Concepts Are Not Separate, And The Good Leader Knows How To Use
Both To Balance His Or Her Leadership Approach. Task Orientation Emphasizes
Something (The Task) That Has To Be Accomplished, But People Orientation
Page 35 of 40
Balances This Emphasis With The Social And Emotional Conditions Required To
Accomplish The Task.
40. QUALITIES OF A CHRISTIAN LEADER
A Good Leader Must:
1. Know That There Is No Position Without Opposition

3. Be Meek But Not Weak
