stands–the ideals embodied in the Pathfinder Pledge and Law. Therefore I charge that by the grace of God you endeavor every day to cherish these high principles and to live them out in your words and actions, that by so doing you may prove to be a true servant of God and a friend to man. “If for any reason whatsoever you lose sight of these ideals and do not care to cherish and practice them in your daily life, you are honor bound to return the insignia to the conference making the award. May God keep you true to Him and to the worthy ideals of the Pathfinder Club.” NOTE OF CAUTION: The Pathfinder Club is not a secret society. While secrecy and secret ceremonies and signs or amulets carried by members might be appealing, it is not Biblical and opens opportunity for criticism and removal of support from church leadership and parents. All we do in the Club should be open, focused on our mission as an international organization and of such character as to be enjoyed by all who visit and witness.
