Pathfindering:
For those who know,
“Pathfindering” conjures up images of marching, camping, curious
hobbies, bugs and bats. Enlarging their windows on the world and
building a relationship with God are the dual objectives of this club
designed for children ages 10-17.
Currently with nearly 2 million members around the world, this
Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored club accepts any youth who
promise to abide by the Pathfinder Pledge and Law regardless of their
church affiliation.
Activities:
The imagination of its
leadership and members are the primary limiting factors. Activities
encouraged range from community/civic service projects both in their
home community and across the globe to nature and environmental
conservation studies to camping and high adventure trips. Pathfindering
challenges the unique talents of each member. Pathfindering is built on
an age-specific curriculum of six levels along with approximately 350
specialized skill development topics covering arts and crafts, aquatics,
nature, household arts, recreation, spiritual development, health, and
vocational training. These often serve as a launching point for lifetime
careers or hobbies.
Pathfinder Pledge & Law
The Pathfinder Pledge & Law is an important
part of Pathfinders. Thousands of Pathfinders each
year learn and choose to abide by the requirements
of the Pathfinder Pledge and Law for the sole
purpose of growing closer to their fellow men and women, and
to their Creator.
