Welcome to all Current & Future Pathfinder and Parents!

 It’s a new Pathfinder year and the time has come for us to get things started. We have a whole line up of events to start the year. Included in this site there is a calendar that will give you a little idea of what is in store. Our first event will be on August 26th. This will be a casual meeting, which will give us a chance to catch up with each other, meet any new Pathfinders & Staff and register for the new year. We will also be having a Car Wash/Bake Sale.

 The age for entering Pathfinders is 10 years old or in you must be in the 5th grade. The cost for registration this year is $25.00 due in August and an additional $20.00 due in January. All necessary forms for registration can be picked up at the meeting on the 26th.

 This years first camping trip will be September 14th –16th. This trip is for Pathfinders and those parents that are interested in seeing first hand what Pathfindering is all about.

 Each month this we will have planned a community service project. This will give us the opportunity to go out into the communities and let people know who we are.

 Now that the change in the Pathfinder uniform is official, each Pathfinder will need to have a Class “A” Uniform. More information will be given out at the first meeting. The club T-Shirt will also be needed and will still be available.

 We have several honors that we plan to work on this year. We would like to extend an invitation to any parents or others who would be interested in teaching or helping out with a particular honor. This would not have to be a full time commitment. If you are willing to help out at just a couple of meetings we would love to have you.

 Honors and patches that were earned last year or over the summer will be handed out at a special ceremony that is being planned.

 Our regular meetings will be held on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month beginning September 2nd at 9am.

 We look for this to be a fantastic year full of new experiences, honors and hopefully more Pathfinders. Feel free to invite a friend if you would like to share these experiences to them.

 

We look forward to seeing you all!
