An Overview of the Investiture Achievement Curriculum
The Companion level of Investiture Achievement is for Pathfinders in the 6th grade.
As you review the requirements, you will see that they are aligned with our curriculum
objectives, best practices in education and Pathfinder ministry goals. Throughout the
curriculum special focus was given to creating age- appropriate requirements and
building a series of requirements that is sequenced from year to year, allowing the
Pathfinder to build on the skills previously learned.
The Investiture Achievement requirements are divided into eight sections. Requirements
can be met in a variety of ways based on how the individual Pathfinder learns best.
Each year that a Pathfinder is Invested and advances to the next level the sections
remain the same as the previous year. However, the activities to fulfill the requirements
change in order to allow each Pathfinder the opportunities to participate in new
experiences and challenges and to practice skills and use information previously
learned.
This Investiture Achievement curriculum is designed to create an ongoing learning

environment. To maximize the success for each Pathfinder, club directors, instructors
and all Pathfinder staff must intentionally:
• Inspire and motivate Pathfinders.
• Emphasize quality, not quantity, of learning.
• Build on knowledge that has been gained in earlier levels.
• Allocate time to practice new concepts and skills.
• Aim for understanding rather than memorization.
• Consider developmental and individual abilities of each Pathfinder.
• Employ effective and flexible strategies to aid learning.
• Use concrete and meaningful activities.
On the following pages you will see an overview of the entire curriculum followed by
specific ideas you can use to complete each requirement for the Companion Level.

2. a. Develop your devotional life by studying the Weekly Devotional Guide (weeks 14 - 26) and the
book of Genesis utilizing printed or electronic resources. (See appendix)
Teaching Tip
The purpose of this requirement is to have the Pathfinders connect with God each day and to help
them establish a lifelong habit of personal devotions. Encourage the Pathfinders to reflect on the Bible
passages and not simply rush through this requirement. By reading the thirteen week devotional guide
for Companions, the Pathfinders should gain a broader view of the Bible. The purpose for reading the
book of Genesis is to deepen their understanding of God’s love, forgiveness, and plan of salvation. They
may use their Bibles, computers, other electronic or audio device to complete this requirement.
b. Journal your thoughts by asking these questions:

“What did I learn about God?”
“What did I learn about myself?”
“How can I apply this to my life today?”
You may journal through writing, drawing or electronic process.
Teaching Tip
Encourage the Pathfinders to journal in a way that reflects their creative style. By responding to the
study questions, they will need to think about the meaning of the verses and how they may apply what
they have learned to their lives.

3. a. Memorize the Pathfinder Pledge & Law.
The Pathfinder Pledge

By the Grace of God,
I will be pure
I will be kind
I will be true
I will keep the Pathfinder Law
I will be a servant of God
I will be a friend to man
The Pathfinder Law

The Pathfinder Law is for me to
Keep the Morning Watch
Do my honest part
Care for my body
Keep a level eye
Be courteous and obedient
Walk softly in the sanctuary
Keep a song in my heart
Go on God’s errands
b. Learn the meaning of the Pathfinder Pledge & Law.
Teaching Tip
Encourage the Pathfinders to lead out in the induction service. Have the Pathfinders explain what each
aspect of the pledge and law means.
The meaning of the Pledge

• “By the grace of God” means that I will rely on Him, realizing that His strength is made perfect in my
weakness. It means that only as I rely on God can I do His will. It means that only through grace are we
saved from our sins through the power of Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer.
• “I will be pure” means I will rise above the wicked world in which I live and keep my life clean with
words and actions that will make others happy.
• “Kind” means that I will be considerate and kind not only to my fellowmen but to all of God’s creation
as well.
• “True” means that I will be honest and upright in study, work and play and can always be counted on
to do my very best.
• “I will keep the Pathfinder Law” means that I will seek to understand the meaning of the Pathfinder
Law and will strive to live up to its spirit, realizing that obedience to law is essential in any organization.
• “I will be a servant of God” means that I pledge myself to serve God first, last and best in everything
I am called upon to be or do.
• “a friend to man” means that I will live to bless others and do unto them as I would have them do
unto me.

Teaching Tip, Con’t
Meaning of the Law

• Keep the Morning Watch. Every boy and girl should have prayer and Bible study every day. The best
way to start the day is by studying the Morning Watch which has been prepared as a daily devotional
for every Seventh-day Adventist junior boy and girl.
The first food I need is the Word of God. I will study and meditate upon it and make it part of my daily
devotions.
I will pray, thanking God for His blessings and asking Him for the things I and others need. God has
promised to hear me.
I will share what I have learned in the Word of God with my family and others. I want Jesus to come
soon, and I want others to know Him personally as I do.
I will keep the Morning Watch because it is the plan of God to enrich my life and prepare me for His
kingdom.
• Do my honest part. “The world does not as much need men of great intellect as of noble character.”
Education, pg 225.
“A character formed according to the divine likeness is the only treasure that we can take from this
world to the next. Those who are under the instruction of Christ in this world will take every divine
attainment with them to the heavenly mansions. And in heaven we are continually to improve. How
important then is the development of character in this life.” Messages to Young People, pgs 100, 101.
Recognizing the great need in the world and in my life I will not be afraid of anything that is my duty. I
will cheerfully carry all my responsibilities at home, in school, and in the church. I will show good sports-
manship in play and always strive to do my best.
I will do my honest part by keeping out of trouble, taking care of my money, respecting that which is
not mine and faithfully carrying out all my responsibilities.
• Care for my body. “One of the greatest aids in perfecting pure and noble characters in the young,
strengthening them to control appetite and refrain from debasing excesses is sound physical health.”
Messages to Young People, pg 233.
I recognize that the time to establish good habits, to learn self-control and to keep a healthy body is in
my youth. I also recognize that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that I have been entrusted
with its care. It is my responsibility to learn principles and norms which will help me live happily and free
from the vices and corruptions of the world.
I will endeavor to keep my body strong by deep breathing, exercise, proper diet and dress, and by
refraining from the use of alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee and drugs.
• Keep a level eye. At Fort Lincoln, Washington, D.C. there is a statue of Christ which appears to look
in all directions. No matter where you stand the eyes of the Lord are upon you. The Bible says; “The
eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3
Keep a level eye means that no matter where we are, out in the open or in the dark alleys of life, we can
look at Jesus straight in the eye and not be afraid. Adam and Eve ran from the presence of God. They
could not face Him because they had sinned. In order to keep a level eye I must not lie or deceive. I will
tell the truth even if it hurts. I will despise filthy thinking and dirty talk. I will think more of others than of
myself.
• Be courteous and obedient. “The golden rule is the principle of true courtesy, and its truest illustra-
tion is seen in the life and character of Jesus. Oh, what rays of softness and beauty shone forth in the
daily life of our Saviour! What sweetness flowed from His very presence! The same spirit will be revealed
in His children.” Messages to Young People, pg 420.

Teaching Tip, Con’t
I want to be courteous because courtesy is love shining out of a heart that reflects the love of Jesus.
I will always give a kindly greeting and ever be ready to help the stranger, the aged, the sick, the poor
and little ones.
I realize that obedience to God must come first, obedience to parents next, and obedience to teach-
ers follow. I want to follow the example of Jesus, who was obedient even unto death on the cross. He
came to fulfill a mission and was obedient to His heavenly Father.
• Walk softly in the Sanctuary. When Moses went into the presence of God to receive the Ten Com-
mandments the people were told to sanctify themselves and to wash their clothes. They were to be
reverent before the God of the universe. “Children and youth should never fell that it is something to
be proud of to be indifferent and careless in meetings where God is worshipped.” Messages to Young
People, pg 266.
I will walk softly in the sanctuary, making my feet, my hands, and my heart fit the time and place. God
is in the church building, because it is dedicated to His service. In the church I will be quiet, careful and
reverent in all I do and say.
I will be reverent in prayer; I will close my eyes and have a proper posture as I talk to God.
I will respect the sanctuary, its buildings, its furniture; I will not talk to my peers; I will remember that the
angels cover themselves in humility as they approach the throne of God.
• Keep a song in my heart. “The melody of praise is the atmosphere of heaven; and when heaven
comes in touch with the earth there is music and song thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.” Mes-
sages to Young People, pg 291.
Music is as much an act of worship as is prayer. Many times youth do not understand this and songs
are sung without meaning. We must learn to praise God here on earth, for this will be one of the
themes of eternity. There should be joy in our hearts because Jesus came and died on the cross for all
of us.
I will keep a song in my heart because I am happy, because I’ve been redeemed. I will sing while I am
alone and while I am with others. I want them to feel the joy of salvation with me, the joy of a Christian,
the happiness one experiences with Christ. I will sing when things are right and I will sing when things
are wrong. I know that trials and tribulations are God’s way of teaching and molding me.
“Let there be singing in the home, of songs that are sweet and pure, and there will be fewer words of
censure, and more of cheerfulness and hope and joy. Let there be singing in the school, and the pupils
will be drawn closer to God, to their teachers, and to one another.” Messages to Young People, pg 292.
• Go on God’s Errands. The supreme purpose of every Adventist junior youth is to do God’s work.
“Children can be acceptable missionary workers in the home and in the church. God desires them
to be taught that they are in the world for useful service, not merely for play. In the home they can be
trained to do missionary work that will prepare them for wider spheres of usefulness. Parents, help your
children to fulfill God’s purpose for them.” Messages to Young People, pg 225.
What a tremendous opportunity to have a part in the finishing of God’s work on earth!. Angels would be
happy to have this work. But it was given to men, to youth, to boys and girls.
I will accept the daily duties of my home and school to prepare me for greater duties. I will plant a
garden for the aged man next door so that someday I might be able to help in an agricultural school in
a foreign country. I will help my little brother tie his shoes so that someday I might operate on a patient
in a hospital in a mission field. I will clean my father’s garage today so that I can help clean heathenism
from the hearts of thousands in a distant land.

2. Learn about Ellen White’s first vision and discuss how God uses prophets to present His message to
the church.
• What happened in Ellen White’s first vision?
Teaching Tip
The accounts of Ellen White’s first vision are found in Early Writings, pages 13-32 and in the section
below. This material provides excellent food for discussion, especially for a Friday night vesper.
As God has shown me the travels of the Advent people to the Holy City and the rich reward to be given
those who wait the return of their Lord from the wedding, it may be my duty to give you a short sketch of
what God has revealed to me. The dear saints have many trials to pass through. But our light afflictions,
which are but for a moment, will work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory—while we
look not at the things which are seen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are
not seen are eternal. I have tried to bring back a good report and a few grapes from the heavenly Canaan,
for which many would stone me, as the congregation bade stone Caleb and Joshua for their report. (Num-
bers 14:10.) But I declare to you, my brethren and sisters in the Lord, it is a goodly land, and we are well
able to go up and possess it.
While I was praying at the family altar, the Holy Ghost fell upon me, and I seemed to be rising higher and
higher, far above the dark world. I turned to look for the Advent people in the world, but could not find
them, when a voice said to me, “Look again, and look a little higher.” At this I raised my eyes, and saw a
straight and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the Advent people were traveling to
the city, which was at the farther end of the path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the begin-
ning of the path, which an angel told me was the midnight cry. This light shone all along the path and gave
light for their feet so that they might not stumble. If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just
before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a
great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising
His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the Advent band, and they shout-
ed, “Alleluia!” Others rashly denied the light behind them and said that it was not God that had led them
out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and
lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below. Soon
we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus’ coming. The living
saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an
earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light
up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses’ did when he came down from Mount Sinai.
The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads was written, God, New Jerusalem,
and a glorious star containing Jesus’ new name. At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and
would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in
the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground. Then it was that the synagogue of Satan
knew that God had loved us who could wash one another’s feet and salute the brethren with a holy kiss,
and they worshiped at our feet.

Teaching Tip
Soon our eyes were drawn to the east, for a small black cloud had appeared, about half as large as a man’s
hand, which we all knew was the sign of the Son of man. We all in solemn silence gazed on the cloud
as it drew nearer and became lighter, glorious, and still more glorious, till it was a great white cloud. The
botom appeared like fire; a rainbow was over the cloud, while around it were ten thousand angels, singing
a most lovely song; and upon it sat the Son of man. His hair was white and curly and lay on His shoulders;
and upon His head were many crowns. His feet had the appearance of fire; in His right hand was a sharp
sickle; in His left, a silver trumpet. His eyes were as a flame of fire, which searched His children through and
through. Then all faces gathered paleness, and those that God had rejected gathered blackness. Then we
all cried out, “Who shall be able to stand? Is my robe spotless?” Then the angels ceased to sing, and there
was some time of awful silence, when Jesus spoke: “Those who have clean hands and pure hearts shall be
able to stand; My grace is sufficient for you.” At this our faces lighted up, and joy filled every heart. And the
angels struck a note higher and sang again, while the cloud drew still nearer the earth.
Then Jesus’ silver trumpet sounded, as He descended on the cloud, wrapped in flames of fire. He gazed
on the graves of the sleeping saints, then raised His eyes and hands to heaven, and cried, “Awake! awake!
awake! ye that sleep in the dust, and arise.” Then there was a mighty earthquake. The graves opened,
and the dead came up clothed with immortality. The 144,000 shouted, “Alleluia!” as they recognized their
friends who had been torn from them by death, and in the same moment we were changed and caught up
together with them to meet the Lord in the air.
We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought
the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads. He gave us harps of gold and palms
of victory. Here on the sea of glass the 144,000 stood in a perfect square. Some of them had very bright
crowns, others not so bright. Some crowns appeared heavy with stars, while others had but few. All were
perfectly satisfied with their crowns. And they were all clothed with a glorious white mantle from their
shoulders to their feet. Angels were all about us as we marched over the sea of glass to the gate of the city.
Jesus raised His mighty, glorious arm, laid hold of the pearly gate, swung it back on its glittering hinges, and
said to us, “You have washed your robes in My blood, stood stiffly for My truth, enter in.” We all marched in
and felt that we had a perfect right in the city.
Here we saw the tree of life and the throne of God. Out of the throne came a pure river of water, and on
either side of the river was the tree of life. On one side of the river was a trunk of a tree, and a trunk on the
other side of the river, both of pure, transparent gold. At first I thought I saw two trees. I looked again, and
saw that they were united at the top in one tree. So it was the tree of life on either side of the river of life.
Its branches bowed to the place where we stood, and the fruit was glorious; it looked like gold mixed with
silver.
We all went under the tree and sat down to look at the glory of the place, when Brethren Fitch and Stock-
man, who had preached the gospel of the kingdom, and whom God had laid in the grave to save them,
came up to us and asked us what we had passed through while they were sleeping. We tried to call up
our greatest trials, but they looked so small compared with the far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory that surrounded us that we could not speak them out, and we all cried out, “Alleluia, heaven is cheap
enough!” and we touched our glorious harps and made heaven’s arches ring.
With Jesus at our head we all descended from the city down to this earth, on a great and mighty mountain,
which could not bear Jesus up, and it parted asunder, and there was a mighty plain. Then we looked up
and saw the great city, with twelve foundations, and twelve gates, three on each side, and an angel at each
gate. We all cried out, “The city, the great city, it’s coming, it’s coming down from God out of heaven,” and
it came and settled on the place where we stood. Then we began to look at the glorious things outside of
the city. There I saw most glorious houses, that had the appearance of silver, supported by four pillars set
with pearls most glorious to behold. These were to be inhabited by the saints. In each was a golden shelf.

Teaching Tip
I saw many of the saints go into the houses, take off their glittering crowns and lay them on the shelf, then
go out into the field by the houses to do something with the earth; not as we have to do with the earth here;
no, no. A glorious light shone all about their heads, and they were continually shouting and offering praises
to God.
I saw another field full of all kinds of flowers, and as I plucked them, I cried out, “They will never fade.” Next
I saw a field of tall grass, most glorious to behold; it was living green and had a reflection of silver and gold,
as it waved proudly to the glory of King Jesus. Then we entered a field full of all kinds of beasts—the lion,
the lamb, the leopard, and the wolf, all together in perfect union. We passed through the midst of them,
and they followed on peaceably after. Then we entered a wood, not like the dark woods we have here; no,
no; but light, and all over glorious; the branches of the trees moved to and fro, and we all cried out, “We will
dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.” We passed through the woods, for we were on our
way to Mount Zion.
As we were traveling along, we met a company who also were gazing at the glories of the place. I noticed
red as a border on their garments; their crowns were brilliant; their robes were pure white. As we greeted
them, I asked Jesus who they were. He said they were martyrs that had been slain for Him. With them was
an innumerable company of little ones; they also had a hem of red on their garments. Mount Zion was just
before us, and on the mount was a glorious temple, and about it were seven other mountains, on which
grew roses and lilies. And I saw the little ones climb, or, if they chose, use their little wings and fly, to the
top of the mountains and pluck the never-fading flowers. There were all kinds of trees around the temple
to beautify the place: the box, the pine, the fir, the oil, the myrtle, the pomegranate, and the fig tree bowed
down with the weight of its timely figs—these made the place all over glorious. And as we were about to
enter the holy temple, Jesus raised His lovely voice and said, “Only the 144,000 enter this place,” and we
shouted, “Alleluia.”
This temple was supported by seven pillars, all of transparent gold, set with pearls most glorious. The
wonderful things I there saw I cannot describe. Oh, that I could talk in the language of Canaan, then could
I tell a little of the glory of the better world. I saw there tables of stone in which the names of the 144,000
were engraved in letters of gold. After we beheld the glory of the temple, we went out, and Jesus left us
and went to the city. Soon we heard His lovely voice again, saying, “Come, My people, you have come out
of great tribulation, and done My will; suffered for Me; come in to supper, for I will gird Myself, and serve
you.” We shouted, “Alleluia! glory!” and entered into the city. And I saw a table of pure silver; it was many
miles in length, yet our eyes could extend over it. I saw the fruit of the tree of life, the manna, almonds, figs,
pomegranates, grapes, and many other kinds of fruit. I asked Jesus to let me eat of the fruit. He said, “Not
now. Those who eat of the fruit of this land go back to earth no more. But in a little while, if faithful, you
shall both eat of the fruit of the tree of life and drink of the water of the fountain.” And He said, “You must
go back to the earth again and relate to others what I have revealed to you.” Then an angel bore me gently
down to this dark world. Sometimes I think I can stay here no longer; all things of earth look so dreary. I feel
very lonely here, for I have seen a better land. Oh, that I had wings like a dove, then would I fly away and be

at rest!
Tip
Early Christian Labors

After I came out of vision, everything looked changed; a gloom was spread over all that I beheld. Oh, how
dark this world looked to me. I wept when I found myself here, and felt homesick. I had seen a better world,
and it had spoiled this for me. I told the view to our little band in Portland, who then fully believed it to be of
God. That was a powerful time. The solemnity of eternity rested upon us.

Serving Others
• Encourage spiritual growth through a discovery of the Bible and Christian history.
1. In consultation with your leader, plan ways and find opportunities to spend at least two hours helping
an elderly person.
• Who needs my help?
• How could I help this person in a meaningful way?
Teaching Tip
Volunteering with the elderly creates wonderful opportunities for the Pathfinders to develop their
servant-leadership skills. It may be necessary to have an orientation session with the Pathfinders
before their initial visit; especially if they are not used to being around senior citizens. Here is a basic
overview of things to keep in mind:
• Be polite and pleasant.

• Remember that the elderly may require more time to navigate through a conversation or a task. Be
sensitive to their needs.
• Speak clearly and face the person when speaking to them as many elderly suffer from loss of hearing
and/or impaired vision.
• Avoid moving or rearranging items without their consent.
2. Spend at least four hours participating in projects that benefit the church or school.
• How may I help?
Teaching Tip
Make this event fun by doing the project in groups of two, and having pizza at the end of the activity.
Possible school projects: Possible church projects:

• Plant and care for flower beds • Ground improvement
• Clean and fix up restroom facilities • Work bee

tobacco, alcohol, or any other narcotic.”
Teaching Tip
Discuss what the Bible and Ellen G. White say about temperance and encourage the Pathfinders to sign
and carry their Temperance Pledge card. You can create a card or purchase one from AdventSource
(#500300)
Some meaning of Temperance:
• Temperance is self-control through the power of the Holy Spirit.
• As we ask, God through His Spirit guides us in the choices we make.
• We first choose to serve Him.
• We choose to say NO to Satan.
• As we ask Him, God gives power to resist temptation.
• We choose to eat and drink those things that are healthful in a way that will honor God.
• We choose not to eat or drink anything that would be harmful.
• We choose to allow God to guide in all our daily activities.
• Man was created perfect in the image of God, healthy, free from disease.
• Adam and Eve had natural appetites given by God to enjoy what God had made.
• God also gave them the power of reason, choice and self-control.
• They were tempted by Satan to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
• Being deceived, they used the power of choice wrongly.
• They lost their self-control and came under the influence of Satan. People have been making
wrong choices ever since.
• This is evidence of lack of self-control.
(Source, AY Instructor’s Manual, pg 133)
Ellen G. White’s statements on temperance:
• “True temperance teaches us to abstain entirely from that which is injurious, and to use
judiciously only healthful and nutritious articles of food.” Temperance, p. 3.
• “The only safe course is to touch not, taste not, handle not, tea, coffee, wines, tobacco, opium,
and alcoholic drinks.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 428.
• “…temperance alone is the foundation of all the graces that come from God, the foundation of all
victories to be gained.” Temperance, p. 201.
• “A pure and noble life, a life of victory over appetite and lust, is possible to everyone who will unite his
weak, wavering, human will to the omnipotent, unwavering will of God.” Temperance, p. 113.
• “Tobacco is a slow, insidious, but most malignant poison, in whatever form it is used, it tells
upon the constitution; it is all the more dangerous because its effects are slow and at first hardly
perceptible.” Ministry of Healing, p. 237-328.

Nature Study
• Develop an understanding of God, the Creator of all things, through the
study and observation of His creation.
1. a. Read pages 1-13 from the booklet “a 6 Day” Creation Week?
Teaching Tip
Resource
• “a 6 Day” Creation Week? by Noble Vining (AdventSource #416608)
b. Keep a 7-day outdoor log of your personal observations from nature in which each day focuses on
those things that were created on that day.
Teaching Tip
“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”
Ps 33:6
The purpose of this requirement is to instill in the Pathfinders the solid conviction that God was and is
the Creator of all things and that the Genesis story of creation is central to understanding the plan of
salvation. Inextricably tied to the creation story is the seventh-day Sabbath. The Pathfinders who fulfill
this requirement should have an understanding of the relationship between creation and the Sabbath in
terms of the plan of salvation.
The story of how things began in Eden is probably the most magnificent and wondrous story ever told,
except the story of Jesus who came to save that which He had created. Pathfinders should be led to
see the adventure and the wonder of the creation story. Help them to hear and to see what might have
happened. Then make sure that they understand that we cannot even imagine the perfection and wonder
of it all.
Talk to them about what it might have been like each day. What was it like before day one? Talk about
darkness—complete darkness without any source of light that we know about; it was like being in a
cave when all of the lights are turned off—that’s dark! Where did the light come from on the first day of
creation?
Tell them about the arrival of light, on the first day. Where God is, there cannot be darkness. Some of the
Companions may still be afraid of the dark. Tell them about Jesus and how He takes care of us when we
are in the dark.
Why did God create the world? Was there a logical order to the way God made the world? What were the
animals like then, the birds, the insects, the flowers, the trees, the clouds—everything?
How did God make the world and all that is in it? How does that creative power relate to you and me? Are
we beyond the power of the Creator of the whole universe? Of course we’re not, but some young people
believe that God is too busy to be concerned about them or that they aren’t good enough to merit which
Jesus created everything on earth. With full realization that sin was going to come in and mess things up,
He still took care to make everything on earth perfect in every detail. Think of it!

To make the creation week a bit more meaningful, have each Pathfinder keep a daily log for one week,
recording for each day those natural phenomena that he/she sees, hears, or otherwise experiences which
illustrate each of the days of creation. Try to have the youth begin the log on Sunday, the first day of the
week, so the culmination of the experience can be on Sabbath, the seventh day. You could supplement
the requirement with experiences planned through the week which would help the Pathfinder learn about
the significance of that day in the creation week. For example:
First Day: Make a note of all of the sources of light that you can find. How many of them are natural,
occurring without the help of man? How many of them were present on the first day of creation week?
If possible, take a field trip to a cave and have all of the lights turned off so the youth can experience
the intensity of the darkness in the total absence of light. Second Day: Keep a weather chart for the day,
noting the temperature, wind direction and wind speed (if available), and any precipitation. If possible,
visit the local weather station, or water treatment plant. Make a note of the and/or air that day.
Third Day: Make a note of the time of year and of what state the various plants are in (e.g., spring
buds, summer fruit, fall colors, winter dormancy). The youth might want to collect some leaves from
several trees, identify them, and press them for their notebooks; or they might want to do the same with
some flowers found that day. If possible, visit a nuseryman, or farmer to get some idea of the various
requirements that mist exist in order for plants to grow healthy. If you live where there is water, notice that
there are also water plants that grow where there is no dry land.
Fourth Day: Note the presence of the star that gives us light by day, and note the status of the moon on
that day (i.e., new moon, first quarter, and so on). Have the youth take a look at the stars, if visible, and see
if they can count them. It would be wonderful if you could take the future Companions to a planetarium
to get a more adequate perspective of just what the sun, moon, and stars are all about. During the date
note the effects of the sun and/or the moon (e.g., the tides, suntan, evaporation of water, plant growth,
and others).
Fifth Day: Make a list of the birds seen, and see how many the youth can identify; also, see how many
they can identify by sound. You might want to set up a bird feeder, visit someone else’s feeder, or visit
an aviary. Record what is seen there. Beyond just identifying the birds, have the youth make some notes
about what the birds are doing and give some possible reasons for the birds’ behavior. Also, on this day
see if you can observe any fish, such as in a public or private aquarium, or even a local pet shop. Record
the observations.
Sixth Day: This is a special day for observing and recording the creation week. Not only were all of the
animals and creeping things created on this day, but also Adam and Eve were as well. You might want to
have the youth divide their observations for this day into two parts: (1) animals and creeping things, and
(2) interesting things that you see people doing. Try to determine whether or not the things that you see
these groups doing are things that they (both animals and people) would have done on the sixth day of
creation week.
Seventh Day: Since this was the day set aside, after Jesus was finished creating the world, for His
people to remember Him and how much He loves them, try to observe natural wonders that you see that
illustrate the care and keeping of Jesus for His creatures. It may be a mother cat washing her kittens, a
bird building a nest, a rainbow, the shade of a tree; it can be an endless number of things. Be sure that
the observations made on this day are special; try to draw from the natural observations some personal
message of love from Jesus to all of us.
If possible, get one of your Companions relate the story of creation as a testimony of the creative power
of Jesus, not only in the world, but also in his/her own life. Make the telling of this experience something
special; it could be given as a testimony in church or in a school assemble. But perhaps the most
meaningful way to tell the story would be to share in around a campfire under the starry heavens or on
the seashore as the waves pound the beach with the power given to them by the Creator.

Bible Sword Drill
Supplement Appendix
Instructions:
1. Select participants:
• Two Pathfinders to hold the rope.
• As many Pathfinders as desired.
2. Participants will form one straight line behind a rope held immediately in front of them approximately 30
inches from the floor. Their Bible is to be held (sheathed) under their left arm.
3. Leaders will give the commands: “ATTENTION: “DRAW SWORDS”. Participants quickly bring their right
hand across their body-draw their sword (Bible) and hold it in front of them, closed, waist high, ready to find
the reference.
4. Leader announces the reference, eg: “The Book of mark” (begin with the well-know books), or ask for a
book from one of the sections, eg: gospels, letters. The exercise becomes more difficult as you call the
smaller books, or ask for specific chapter and verse.
5. No participant moves until the order is given: “CHARGE”. The rope is dropped to their feet while the
participants quickly find the reference. Immediately the reference is found, they take one pace forward,
keeping one hand on the open page of the Bible.
6. A ten second time limit is given from the command “CHARGE” to find the reference and step one pace
forward. (Vary the time limit to suit the experience of your group).
7. The timekeeper will call “TIME” as the time limit expires. The rope will immediately be raised, perhaps
catching some participants part way across. They should return behind the line.
8. Each participant who steps across the line before the time limit is reached is a winner.
9. An appointed judge will inspect the references.
10. An award of two points can be given to each winner. See who is the first to get to twenty.
11. Leader shall call “ONE PACE BACKWARD MARCH”. Ropekeepers shall lower the rope and raise it again
after the participants have crossed it.
12. Leader shall call “SHEATH SWORDS”. Participants quickly tuck their Bibles under their left arm and return
right hand to their side.
13. Ready now to repeat activity from “DRAW SWORDS”.
Animal Tracking
1. Know ten kinds of tracks, including two kinds of bird tracks. Make plaster casts of
five.
2. Name at least three things that tracks tell us.
3. Trail some animal tracks, identify the animal if possible, and tell whether it was
running or walking. Measure between the tracks of one animal when running and
walking.
4. Maintain a tracking station for at least three days by doing the following:
a. Select a flat open space in some quiet place near your camp or home.
b. Smooth out ground, mud, sand, etc.

Basic Water Safety
Reason for the new honor - Beginner’s Swimming Honor is based on the Red Cross
level 3 requirements. With recent changes to the level 3, it is now imposable for a club
to do the Beginner’s Swimming Honor in a backyard pool. Level 3 requires a pool to
be 9 foot deep. The desire of the Investiture Achievement Committee was to require a
swimming level to be taught in order to protect our Youth from drowning.
Therefore the proposed Basic Water Safety Honor is based on elements from the Red
Cross Levels 1 & 2 but adapting those requirements that can be done in a backyard pool
(being 2-3 feet deep) under adult supervision, not necessarily using a lifeguard or water
safety instructor. For safety and in case of an emergency, always have an adult observing
all participants who is not part of the teaching process. Resources: YouTube videos show
how to teach many of these requirements
1. Enter and exit the water un-assisted.
The point is to teach how to get in and out of a pool without assistance and safely.
Honor Appendix
2. While holding your breath, fully submerge your face under water for five seconds.
This can be done by sitting on the bottom or by bending over and putting just the
face in the water, as long as the full face stays covered for the full time.
3. Alternately inhale through the mouth above the surface and blow bubbles through
the mouth/nose, with face completely submerged, seven time rhythmically and
continuously.
This is called Rhythmic Breathing. It can be accomplished by bobbing up and down
if the pool is deep enough or by leaning over and putting the face in the water to
blow the bubbles, then lifting the head or turning the head for the breath, then plac-
ing the face back in the water to blow the bubbles again. This is not to be done
quickly but over at least two seconds blow the air out then take a full breath of air to
blow again. This teaches breath control.
4. Open your eyes under water and retrieve submerged objects two times.
This is to practice breath control while giving them a purpose and helping them to
feel more comfortable under water.
5. Front float for five seconds.
Lean forward with both arms stretched out above head with fingers straight and
hands open. Take a deep breath and continue leaning forward until body is parallel
with the bottom of pool and face is in the water. To prevent water getting in the
nose, blow bubbles out the nose slowly. If you start to sink, kick your legs a few
times and move arms back and forth. When through, feel bottom of pool and stand
up.
6. Front glide for two body lengths.
Follow the instructions for the front float but push off to get momentum to glide. If
the pool is not big enough for two body lengths, go from one side of the pool to the
other.
7. Back float for fifteen seconds.
While supporting the head/back, have them lay back in the water with arms out and
legs out. Have them lay head back. Do not let them go until they are ready and say it
is ok. Have them keep lungs as full as possible.
8. Holding on to the side of the pool, kick with your feet for twenty seconds.
The purpose is to build endurance and practice technique in a pool that may not be
large enough to swim in. The recommended kick is the flutter kick. Keep knees as
straight as possible, bending at the waist. If the pool is to shallow the frog kick that
is part of the breaststroke may be used.
9. Using arm and leg motion, swim five body lengths.
No particular stroke is required. If the pool is shallow, do the best they can. They
may have to go back and forth in the pool to get five body lengths.
10. Learn to put on a Life Jacket and float for thirty seconds.
Not only is it important to learn how to put on a Life Jacket but also learn to trust
that it will hold the one wearing it up.
11. Demonstrate water safety by:
a. How to call for help in case of an emergency.
b. Learn how to release a cramp.
c. Demonstrate reaching assist.
Honor Appendix
Can use a towel, rope, shirt, umbrella, arm or leg to reach out to someone
who is in need of help without getting in the water to help them
d. Learn at least ten safety rules when around water.
1) May include: Never swim alone.
2) Do not swim without an adult or lifeguard present.
3) Always ask permission.
4) Do not run near water.
5) No pushing.
6) No diving except where it is safe.
7) Do not jump in close to others.
8) Wear sunscreen and limit exposure to sun.
9) Do not swim if lightning is possible.
10) Do not enter water over your head until you can swim well.
11) Do not dunk another person.
