Glendale Pathfinders

Warren Dale, Director

Pathfinders is a co-ed scouting program sponsored by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church for children in grades 5-12.We participate in an active in-door and out-door program similar to the Boy Scouts. The club is considered to be a "lab". A place where children can experiment with growing up in a safe Christ centered environment. Pathfinders is a world wide organization with thousands of members in more the 150 countries around the world.

The Glendale Pathfinders meet on most Tuesdays during our regular schedule at 6:45 p.m. at the Glendale Adventist Community Center located at 311 Vallejo Drive in Glendale, California. Our meetings usually run until 8:45 in the evening.

Our Registration night for the 2003-2004 year is set for Tuesday, September 2, 2003. Please come to our registration night to enroll your child. On this night we will be ordering uniforms, informing parents of upcomming yearly events, paying registration, which is $35, among many other things.

The answer to this is absolutely. Use the summer activities for your child to get involved and make friends before the year starts. Encourage your child to attend so they can be motivated for the upcomming year.

Absolutely! We should be putting up a registration form shortly. Children are welcome to join any time throughout the year. Registration will be as always, $35.

Generally the child needs to be 10 years old by registration but as long as the child is in the 5th grade or will be 10 by December of that same year, we can usually make the exception for your child. If this isn't the case, we also have an excellent ADVENTURER club which will be more suited for your child. Most of the time, maturity is a factor that we consider.

Your $35 serves as dues for honor classes along with the weekly $1 your child will be paying at every regular Tuesday meeting. At this time of payment, your child will also receive a blue PATHFINDER T-SHIRT which should be worn whenever a Field Uniform or Class B uniform is required. This fee also covers the costs of honor patches given to the child after their completion of the approved honor classes.

All Pathfinder leaders are Christians. Their belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ motivates them to spend time ministering to youth. By their teaching and example they show what it means to be a living, vibrant Christian in Today's world.
