Pathfinders / Adventurers / Master Guides

	. PATHFINDERS is a community service oriented, spirtual, recreational activity youth organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, designed for young people ages ten to sixteen years and upwards. Enlarging their windows on the world and building a relationship with God are the dual objectives of this club designed for children ages 10-16. Currently with nearly 2 million members around the world, this Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored club accepts any youth who promise to abide by the Pathfinder Pledge and Law regardless of their church affiliation.
	Two thirds of a million kids ages 6-9 around the world have discovered one of the most fun clubs ever created for them. The Adventurer Club is designed to strengthen parent-child relationships by providing specialized weekly activities tuned into the psychological needs of this age group while simultaneously giving parents opportunities for learning parenting skills and enjoying special activities with their children.
	The Master Guide class is the top level of class achievement. It is the "Ph.D." of Youth Ministry in the field. The Master Guide is the expert, the advisor, the promoter, for Adventurers, Pathfinders, Ambassadors, Youth Emergency Service Corp and Youth. As such, MG is NOT a Pathfinder Program, it is a Youth Ministry Leadership Program.
