YMCA Pioneer Emblem with the four cornerstones; intellectual, service, devotional and physical By 1928 the YMCA was working with the group Christian Citizenship and their youth material Christian Quest. The new Pioneer program kept some references to the older YMCA Comrades and Pioneers programs (see other webpage) but produced a less complicated handbook and materials. The age level for YMCA Pioneers was 12 through 15 years old. The Purpose of A Pioneer: "To follow the trail blazed by the Great Pioneer in a life of service and of growth in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man."
There were four ranks to the Pioneer program; Pathfinder, Trailblazer, Guide and Master Pioneer. The first three ranks were indicated by the color of the membership button; Pathfinder - bronze, Trailblazer - silver and Guide - gold. The highest rank - Master Pioneer was a ribbon, shown below.
