<!--  2. What is meant by “Pathfinders are a sacred trust” and how does camp safety support that aspect of ministry in the church? -->
When parents allow their children to join Pathfinders, they have certain expectations of what will go on at the meetings and outings. Staff must be constantly vigilant of anything that could threaten the safety of any Pathfinder, and must not be hesitant to intervene when boundaries are crossed. This however, deals only with physical safety.

Not only are the staff to keep the children safe at all times, they are also to serve as a Christian example. They are to provide spiritual leadership to those in their care. If the Pathfinder experience is not pointing the Pathfinder to Christ, the leaders are not executing their duties properly.

Remember this text from Matthew:

{{Bible verse
|book = Matthew
|chapter=18
|verse=6
|version=NIV
|text=
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

<!--  4. Conduct 5 camp site inspections (on at least two camping experiences) using the current Adventist Risk Management Pathfinder Camp Safety Inspection Form or its equivalent.  -->
{{AY Honors/Problematic requirement
|The form provided by Adventist Risk Management is not a campsite inspection form at all, but rather, a summer camp facility inspection form. We recommend that you use your conferences camp site inspection form. Ask your conference youth director or an area coordinator for one.
|Conduct 5 camp site inspections (on at least two camping experiences) using your conference's current camp site inspection form or its equivalent.
}}

Some conferences have the TLT's conduct camp site inspections during the Camporees. If this is the case in your conference, it makes an excellent opportunity to meet this requirement.

*First Aid Kit

**Each Pathfinder should have a copy of their own
**Each Staff member should have copies for all Pathfinders under their care.
