Master Guide: The Expert, The Advisor, The Promoter for Adventurers and Pathfinders

It is the "Ph.D." of youth ministry in the field and cannot be earned without taking at least one Basic Staff Training (BST) course.  

As such, Master Guide is NOT a Pathfinder program, it is a Youth Ministry Leadership Program.
