What is the Pathfinder
Organization?
The Pathfinder Club is a voluntary association
of youth 10-15 years of age with trained
adult counselors. It was officially authorized
by the General Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists in 1950 and since then has encircled
the globe.
It gives junior youth opportunities
to accept
responsibility that leads to
trustworthy
citizenship and steadfast church
affiliation.
It is vitally important for the
church to
augment the influence of the
home and the
school in shaping the ideals,
attitudes and
character of growing youth. The
Pathfinder
Club does this through interpreting
Christian
ideals to junior youth in the
setting of
activities that satisfy normal
desires for
adventure and achievement. Club
members are
often heard to exclaim, "It's
fun to
be a Pathfinder!"
Pathfinders get involved in constructive
activities such as Bible study,
nature exploration,
crafts, hobbies, camping, excursions,
hikes,
field games, etc.
Objectives
To lead boys and girls to commit their lives
to Christ and their church.
To demonstrate the attractiveness
of Christian
ideals in a positive, church-centered
activity
program.
To guide boys and girls into
active Christian
witnessing and community service.
To develop good character, citizenship
and
physical fitness in young Christians.
To teach a variety of practical
skills and
recreational pursuits.
