There are five possible levels in the total
Lutheran Girl Pioneer program
SUNBEAMS
For first and second graders.
(Sometimes kindergartners.) The girls participate in fun activities through
the "Explorer", "Friends",
"Helpers" and "Funmaker" categories.
TRAVELERS
For third
and fourth graders.
TRAILBLAZERS
Generally fifth and sixth graders.
HOMESTEADERS
Generally seventh and eighth graders.
SPINNERS
Mainly high school age girls. The
program is unstructured but service oriented.
The activities and/or requirements for the
Sunbeam, Traveler, Trailblazer and Homesteader levels each take
approximately two years to complete. As a new caravan you will receive a
library which will contain suggestions for work schedules, teaching aids,
resource materials and devotional helps which will aid you in helping the
girls to achieve this. Audio-visual materials are also available simply for
the cost of postage.
Over and above the level requirements,
SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS can be worked on by the girls in several areas.
Some examples would be: Babysitting, Ecology, Drama, Sewing, Handicrafts,
Gardening, Art, etc.
RECOGNITION
SYSTEMS
for completing level requirements and special
achievements are also available through the national office. Your caravan
may choose to use one or all of them or in some cases, none. The choice is
really yours. The options are: a charm bracelet with corresponding level and
achievement charms, a framed certificate with decals or a certificate of .
achievement which
you fill in when requirements have been completed.
