Explorer/Personal Growth |
---|
Requirement 1 |
Be 12 years old and/or in Grade 7 or its equivalent. |
The Explorer level has been designed to be within reach of a person in the seventh grade or higher. It should be challenging, yet achievable for a child at this point in his or her formal education.
Requirement 2 |
Be an active member of the AJY Society or Pathfinder Club |
Achievement Classes/Explorer/General/requirement 2b
The questions are to be asked in relation to the Bible texts read in Requirement 2a. The point of having the Pathfinder answer these questions is to encourage him think about the text in a way that he may not have before. It is easier than we like to admit to read a long passage and not even think about it. Journaling should help prevent this.
How the journaling is done should be left to the Pathfinder.
Writing
Some people are more comfortable writing things down. This can be done with a pencil (or pen) and paper in a notebook, in a diary, on a word processor, or even on a blog or social network posting.
Drawing
Some children do not like to write and will resist it mightily. For such children, the thought of not being invested in not likely to be an effective motivator. They may prefer to illustrate the concepts instead, and that is a valid way for them to journal their thoughts.
Electronic Process
The Pathfinder may choose to write his journal entries in a word processor, a blog, or a social network. While these may be considered either writing or an "electronic process," there are other options available. For instance, Pathfinders may wish to make an audio or video recording of their thoughts. If they have the equipment, this should be encouraged. If they are not comfortable sharing the material with the club, do not force them to.
Achievement Classes/Explorer/General/requirement 3a Pathfinder Pledge
Pledge | Meaning |

By the grace of God | Only as I rely on God to help me can I do His will |
I will be pure, | I will fill my mind with that which is right and true and spend my time in activities that build a strong, clean character. |
I will be kind | I will be considerate and kind, not only to my fellow men, but also to all of God’s creation. |
I will be true | I will be honest and upright in study, work, and play and can always be counted upon to do my very best. |
I will keep the Pathfinder Law | I will seek to understand the meaning of the law and will strive to live up to its spirit, realizing that obedience law is essential in any organization. |
I will be a servant of God | I will pledge myself to God first, last, and best in everything I am called to do. |
and a friend to man. | I will bless others and do to them what I would have them do to me. |
Achievement Classes/Explorer/General/requirement 3b
An illustration is something that clarifies or proves a point. Its literal meaning is "to cast light upon." Jesus illustrated many truths through His parables - stories which helped people to understand His message. The requirement to illustrate the meaning of the Pathfinder Pledge is an opportunity for the Pathfinders to use their imaginations. There are many approaches to illustration, including:
- Art projects
- Drawing
- Painting
- Diorama
- Sculpture
- Comic book
- Collage
- Poster
- Drama
- Skit
- Movie
- Puppet show
- Mime play (silent acting with narration or music)
- Other
- Photography slide show
- Sign Language
- PowerPoint or compatible multimedia presention
- Blog post with text and pictures
Requirement 4 |
Read the book "The Happy Path" if not previously read. |
Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Pathfinder Emblem Meaning
Wilderness Explorer
There are no additional requirements in this section for the Advanced Ribbon.
