The flag is divided through the center both vertically and horizontally making four equal parts. The background colors are royal blue and white alternately sewed together with the upper left hand comer being royal blue. The Pathfinder emblem is centered in the heart of the background. The colors are descriptive of the purposes and ideals of Pathfindering. White means purity, blue means loyalty, red reminds us of the shed blood of Christ (sacrifice), and gold means excellence. The symbols also have meanings. The shield is the protection of God, the sword is his word, the Bible, and the triangle represents completeness. Completeness of the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and completeness of the three parts of education (Mental, Physical, and Spiritual).]]

| − | <!-- 6. Have an interview with a local, regional, or national official of your country, and learn about his duties. -->
| |
| − | It is generally easier to get a local official to agree to an interview, though it is often more exciting to interview a more prominent person. The interview can be accomplished during a club meeting, and multiple Pathfinders can ask questions. Invite your guest well ahead of time, and make sure everyone in the club is on time. A visit by an official would be a very good reason to have everyone in the club wear their class A uniforms. If desired, you can make up several questions ahead of time, writing them on index cards, and distributing them to the members of your club. But do not be so rigid as to not allow them to ask spontaneous questions. Having questions prepared ahead of time on index cards are a good way to get things rolling. Here are some suggested questions:
| |
| − | * Could you describe a typical day at work?
| |
| − | * What is the most difficult part of your job?
| |
| − | * What is the most satisfying aspect of your job?
| |
| − | * To whom do you report?
| |
| − | * How did you get your position? Were you elected, appointed, or hired?
| |
| − | * How should a young person prepare for a life of public service?

| − | <!-- 7. Write a one-page essay or give a two-minute oral report about a famous person in your country. Mention what he has done to gain his recognition. -->
| |
| − | This would be an excellent opportunity to present a worship during the opening exercises of a regular club meeting. Encourage your Pathfinder to choose a person they are personally interested in. If they cannot think of anyone themselves, have a list of suggested persons at hand and encourage them to choose from the list. Famous people might be historical figures, politicians, actors, sports stars, or anyone else. It would be preferable to choose a person who has been a positive influence on the country.

| |
| − | Although the requirement asks that you "mention what ''he'' has done to gain ''his'' recognition," this should not be interpreted as excluding women. Men are not the ''only'' famous people in a country.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <!--T:15-->
| |
| − | Note that just because the requirement suggests that the famous person should be male (''his'' recognition), the Pathfinder should in no way feel constrained to limit the selection to just men.

| − | <!-- 9. Describe what you can do as a citizen to help your church and country. -->
| |
| − | The best way to help either your church or your country is by ''getting involved''. Edmund Burke, an English philosopher summed this up when he said ''"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."''
| |

| − | <!--T:20-->
| |
| − | In your church, this means that you will show up for services on a regular basis. It also means you will support it with your tithes and offering, show up for business meetings, and not wait to be asked before you volunteer your services. If you see something that needs done, ''do it.'' If you do not have the skill to do it, or you think that you need permission first, talk to your pastor, an elder, deacon, or deaconess. Find your ministry!

| |
| − | For your country, it is much the same. Show up for public meetings, stay informed about the issues of the day, vote if you are eligible, and pay your taxes fairly and promptly.

| |
| − | This verse teaches that governmental authority is to be respected, as long as it does not conflict with the moral obligations of being a Christian. Government serves a holy purpose; preserving social order, promoting the well-being of its citizens, and protecting their safety. If you believe that this does not apply today because you see the government as corrupt, you are urged to research the Roman government of the first century A.D. when these words were spoken by Jesus. Was Herod corrupt? Was Pilate just?
