Pathfinder literally translated into German is Pfadfinder.
Pfadfinder is the germna name of the Boy/Girl Scouts.
The Pfadfinder where in no way associated with the Nazis, in fact the Organisation was forbidden soon after the Nazis came into power, firstly because they viewed the Pfadfinder as a scocialist organisation, secondly because they did not like international organisations in Germany, thirdly to force the Pfadfinder into their own youth organisations, the boys into the Hitlerjugend the Girls (Pfadfinderinnen) into the Bund Deutscher Mädels.
the Deutscher Pfadfinder Bund was reformed soon after the war, my Mum was a Pfadfinderin in the late 50s
pathfinder is also a program for troubled youth. Something about hiking and camping and whatnot.
The Pathfinder is also a novel by James Fenimore Cooper. (Y'know, the guy wot wrote The Last of the Mohicans.)

Hee hee! Something about committing every possible mistake in the English language on one page, right?
Anyway, Vive le Galt!

well, I am at least sure she could detect lies when I was a kid :-)
Personally, I think the Combat Infantry Badge looks the coolest.
If I had stayed in Germany longer, I would have tried to get my son into Pfadfindern. Oh, well; we're back in the States, now.

You've got to love Mark Twain:
Cooper's art has some defects. In one place in "Deerslayer," and in the restricted space of two-thirds of a page, Cooper has scored 114 offenses against literary art out of a possible 115. It breaks the record.
There have been daring people in the world who claimed that Cooper could write English, but they are all dead now.

The CIB/CMB/CAB is definitely instant respect, but I always liked the way the torch looked. I heard they were wroking it so you could get the torch and 'woop woop wings' in one school but I dont know anyone thats done that.

@Maccabee: I always thought that the asymmetry of the Pathfinder Badge made it look a little weird on a uniform. I just really like that long rifle for both the CIB and the EIB.
Side note: I'm not infantry, so I won't ever get either of those two, I just like the way they look (and you're right- definite instant respect!).
