Application
A Pathfinder or high school age youth wishing to join the TLT Program must complete a TLT Application Form and obtain three recommendation forms. (Suggestions: one from a pastor, one from a teacher, and one from a Pathfinder staff person.) These forms should be turned in to the Pathfinder club director at least two weeks before the beginning of the local Pathfinder year or midyear.
Acceptance
Each club will establish its own TLT Council. The TLTs commitment to Pathfindering, appropriate maturity level, and Christian witness should all be considered, in addition to the application and recommendations.
The TLT Council will work with the Pathfinder in selection of a TLT mentor. Both the club director and the selected TLT mentor will sign the application as a commitment to the TLT and his/her success.
Upon approval into the TLT program by the TLT Council, a copy of the TLT’s application will be sent to the conference Pathfinder director to be registered with the conference.
Probation Period
Each new or transferring TLT must complete a minimum 60-day probationary period. During this period the TLT will preform as a regular part of the TLT Program and the club administration will evaluate the TLTs commitment to the program.
Should the club administration find significant cause, the TLT can be dismissed at the end of the probationary period.
A TLT can be dismissed at any point due to misconduct.
Department Evaluation and Promotion
A review of each TLT will occur at the completion of each operational rotation. The Club/TLT Director and the assigned operational staff member will conduct the review with the mentor and the TLT. Evaluation sheets are provided. There are required tasks which must be completed by all TLTs and there are optional tasks which are to be done at the discretion of the club. The TLT will proceed to their next operational assignment upon a satisfactory evaluation.
