Pathfinder Scouts Association
The Pathfinder & Rover Explorer Scouts' Association (P-RESA) is an independent Traditional Scouting Association in the United Kingdom, with International branches. The Association's training programme runs along the lines of Baden-Powell's original Scouting for Boys, upholding the traditions and practices set out by B-P, using the 1938 Boy Scouts' Association Policy Organisation & Rules (POR) as its basis.
Along with the Fleur-de-Lis, the arrow has been a long used symbol within Scouting.
The British Boy Scouts used the arrow symbol as an important part of their badges. In the Gloucestershire Chronicle dated 19 November 1910, Capt.L.C.Hobbs, The BBS Gloucester Commissioner, gave the following response when asked why every BBS badge has an arrow running through it:
"An arrow, forms an important part in the British Boy Scout badges, because an arrow is used for indicating direction; and, as this the duty of a Scout, the arrow is an appropriate symbol. An arrow is also straight and true: sharp and quick-qualities all Scouts should possess."
At the 1929 World Jamboree in Arrowe Park, Baden-Powell presented four Golden Arrows to representatives from the four corners of the Globe, saying "Carry it fast and carry it far".
In modern heraldry, crossed arrows have come to represent friendship, peace, unity, and cooperation.
It is for these very reasons, that we use the crossed arrows within our association.
Beavers are the youngest and newest section in Scouting, although some Groups do not operate Beaver colonies as they were not part of Baden-Powell's original concept. Beavers was one of the initial names Baden-Powell considered for the Wolf Cub section. The programme serves six to eight year olds, and is based on the Canadian Beaver Scout handbook Friends of the Forest.
