Purpose
The purpose of the Y-Guide Program is to foster understanding and companionship between father and son.
Slogan: "Pal's Forever"
The slogan, "Pal's Forever", does not mean that father & son relate to each other as equals, such as to boys who are pals. Rather, it means that father and son have a close, enduring relationship in which there is communication, understanding, and companionship. The Y-Guide program encourages such a relationship by providing a means for father and son to share enjoyable experiences, to observe and learn about one another, and to develop mutual respect.

Oh Great Spirit, guide us Father and Son, with friendly service to each other, to our tribe, to our community, seek a world, pleasing to the eye of the Great Spirit.
