Pathfinder Uniform
Pathfinders wear gray or blue campaign shirts with their group necker. The shirts should be button-up and have pockets on both sides of the upper chest. Pathfinders may also wear a campaign hat, beret or carry a staff as part of their uniform.
Pathfinders wear the tenderfoot badge on the left side, and the WFIS badge on the right. A detailed example with info on how to wear all the badges is included in the Badge Guide and the new handbook.
New and Improved Handbook!
