Pathfinder Club Update
This last year sure has been interesting, hasn’t it? Well, the Akron Crusaders Pathfinders has not let that get in their way of moving forward, whether it be in person or virtual.
We began our club this year in October, a little later than usual, but then that’s how things have been lately. After figuring out all of the logistics, we were able to make it happen. Our members have been meeting virtually and in person. They have the option, depending on their comfort level. We have been meeting at MCS either outside or in the gymnasium, as it gives us more space. Those who meet in person work on more active honors this year and let the Pathfinders do the majority of their class work on their own. The Pathfinders that meet online work on a different set of honors, as of course active honors would be complicated for them to achieve.
Unfortunately, this year we have not been able to have our normal activities such as camping at the Ohio Camporee (although they did offer a virtual camporee of sorts), International Food Fair, our annual club camp-in and other various events. We will be participating in the Pathfinder Virtual Fair in the spring and the Virtual Pinewood Derby. We also hope to offer a “modified” International Food Fair, maybe in May, look for more information on this. Although things have not been the same been the same, by far, we very blessed to continue this important ministry for our young people. Whereas in other years we have had 30 plus members, this year we have 15, but every member counts and we would still offer our club if we only had 1!
We want to thank our dedicated staff and the church for all of your support for the Akron Crusaders Pathfinder Club.
