Recognizing Excellence


It always feels good to be recognized for our achievements: It motivates us to do more. In Pathways, opportunities to earn awards and accolades come earlier and more often than in the traditional program.

At each level of the curriculum, participants complete two to three projects, and each timeyou finish a level, you receive a digital badge and certificate. You also receive a digital path badge when you finish a path. You can view your badges and certificates on Base Camp.

After each completed path, you earn the “Proficient” designation, signifying your expertise in that particular area. You can also give positive online feedback badges to reward members in your club—labels such as “Collaborative,” “Innovative” and “Inspirational.”

To learn more about awards that you and your club can achieve, visit the Pathways Achievement + Awards page.
