What is Adventurers? Adventurers is a christian activity-based program for children aged four to nine years old, run by volunteers. It is a family-based program and is designed to support parents/caregivers and provide Bible-based learning and new skills for children. Adventurer Clubs are found all over the world.
What happens at Adventurers? A club meeting may include a club flag, parade and uniforms. The Adventurer Pledge and Law is recited. Many Clubs sing an Adventurer Song. As it is a Christian program, prayer and worship are an essential part. Then it is time for activity-based progressive age-appropriate classes. There is a series of four classes, one for each year from ages 6 to 9. Adventurers also earn badges known as Awards Classes.

Pathfinders
What is Pathfinders? While the Pathfinder club exists primarily for juniors and teens, one of its basic purposes is to also bring together parents and church members through active involvement with the club and its members. Here, the so-called generation gap disappears as young and old worship, work and play together in a bond of common experience. Meaningful relationships are forged as leaders and counsellors join with Pathfinders in sharing, building confidence and working together.
What happens at Pathfinders? In addition to the club meetings which cover the same aspects of Adventurers, Pathfinders are also involved in a camping experience with local church members and sometimes involving other clubs. Pathfinders also earn honors in a variety of areas.
Classes: Friend - 10 years old Companion - 11 years old Explorer - 12 years old Ranger - 13 years old Voyager - 14 years old Guide - 15 years old
