“We are the Pathfinders strong. . .
Servants of God are we,
Faithful as we march along,
In kindness, truth and purity.
A message to tell to the world,
A truth that will set us free,
King Jesus, the Saviour’s coming back
For you . . . and me!”
-- Henry Bergh
Officially organized in July 1950, Pathfinders includes three phases of ministry: junior, teen, and leadership training for young people grades 5-10. Regular club activities include progressive class work, honors; camping; nature, and recreational activities; marching and drilling; field trips; fund-raising projects; community service; and evangelistic outreach. Each meeting begins with a short ceremony in which youth sing the Pathfinder song and recite the Pathfinder pledge and law.
Membership in Pathfinders is not restricted to Adventist youth. Enjoy backpacking? Biking? Canoeing? Caving? Camping? Want to be an active young Christian on an adventure with friend who love Jesus? Then join the Alpine Eagles Pathfinder Club! Club members enjoy club meetings, camping, and service adventures designed to develop Christ-like citizens. Regular meetings are held on the second and fourth Sabbath afternoons each month. Contact Yvette at pathfinder.leader@rockfordadventistchurch.org for more information.
