Lad Pioneer
- Lad Pioneers is an organization from the Rescue Bots cartoon portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Lad Pioneers is an organization for young lads to teach them the finer points of camping and knot tying. Cody Burns is a member of the Griffin Rock Lad Pioneer troop and owns a copy of the Lad Pioneers Handbook. Given the book is the 1959 edition, it's likely other members of his family were Lad Pioneers as well.
There is also a version for older kids, named Teen Pioneers.
