Nurturing Youth Charity in Greater Manchester
Pathfinder UK is a unique and dynamic youth organisation providing strong character and resilience building for 5- to 25-year-olds. Based in Manchester, we specialise in encouraging young people to explore and develop their leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and adventure skills. Our parent associations, Rotary's Pathfinders Association and Combined Cadet Force, produce some of the most knowledgeable, qualified, and well-rounded youth leaders.
Our programme is an incredibly unique opportunity that can launch the success of a young person's life. With our strong commitment to developing leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and adventure skills, we can launch a young person's journey to success in life.

From our Bobcats programme for the youngest members (School Years 1-3) to our Pathfinder Cadets for those in School Years 7–10 and our Senior Cadets/Junior Leaders for those in Year 11 and further education, we cater to a wide range of age groups.
Through a carefully crafted curriculum and a variety of engaging activities, we aim to nurture their confidence, boost their self-esteem, and cultivate their resilience.
