Ranks
The Navigators Program is designed for boys in sixth to eighth grade, and is comprised of three ranks:
Recruit Trailman
The Recruit understands and agrees with the ideals of the Trail Life. He takes advantage of the training and fellowship to learn and grow.
Able Trailman
The Able Trailman is truly an able man. He knows how to hike safely and comfortably and handle many situations. These skills are the foundation for the Ready Trailman.
Ready Trailman
The Ready Trailman is ready for whatever happens. He has a full set of camping skills and does his fair share of the work along with enjoying the fun. After you have earned this highest rank in Navigators, you have the confidence and experience to teach skills to newer members and give back to the Troop some of the help you received when you were starting out. As Christ teaches, those who would be great must serve others.
