The Stars Speak of the Glory of God

Isn’t it amazing all the galaxies they are finding? Isn’t it incredible how spectacular God’s creation is? There’s so many new resources on this topic. I’ll put some here and try to add some also. If you run across other resources that speak about the stars, galaxies, and heaven from the perspective of God’s creation, you can share them below.

There are several honors on this topic so this is going to be a longer post.

Star Honor

The Star honor is a part of the Explorer Investiture Achievement. You can find the honor requirements here at this link. Learn about stars from the perspective of our solar system. I love Louie Giglio’s talk How Great is our God! Our amazing Creator loves you!

Advanced Star Honor

Honor Requirement link. This honor and presentation is more of a Q & A presentation. It has 60 slides! I recommend doing it more as part of your group’s favorite game and have prizes. You might let them either answer from their base of knowledge or find the answer on their phone in the space of a given time to receive credit for the answer.

Animal Camouflage Honor

Embroidered patch featuring a colorful chameleon on a branch, set within a circular border.

We found the Camouflage to be a fun, easy, and inexpensive nature honor to do. You can find the requirements here: https://wiki.pathfindersonline.org/w/AY_Honors/Animal_Camouflage/Requirements

The kids enjoyed the hide & seek game with a twist: hide in ‘plain sight’ but camouflage yourself. We told them in advance to bring clothes that would hide in the forest where we were camping.

They also enjoyed hiding little plastic animals in a place that camouflaged them and finding others’ animals.

A cheetah standing in tall grass with text overlay: 'Hope in the Lord' and 'Renewed strength' along with a Bible verse from Isaiah 40:31.

At fair, we presented the activity of Camouflage Decoupage with Modge Podge. Note the links to the products — just click on the blue underlined word. I’m sure there are others out there also. I printed out the following sheets and bought some scrapbook pages with leaves and sand. The kids were to choose an animal and background that the animal would be camouflaged in. Then they followed basic decoupage directions of using the Modge Podge to ‘glue’ the background to small wood square or circle, and then cover it with a light coat of Modge Podge. Smooth it horizontally and vertically each time, taking care that the paper is smooth as desired. Add the next layer which probably is the animal and possibly words chosen. Again cover everything with a light coat of Modge Podge. Add the next layer of the picture which is probably the foreground grass or leaves or more sand which will better hide the animal, but not cover it totally. Remember the idea is to hide in plain sight. Again cover everything with a light coat of Modge Podge. You can add more foreground layers as desired in the same way. Finally go over the whole project again with a light coat of Modge Podge smooth it horizontally and vertically. The end result could be a coaster.

Pathfinder MOUNTAIN Honor

Well, well, well I have gotten back into Pathfinders, so you can expect a few more Pathfinder things coming up.

This is an aspect of the MOUNTAINS honor. You can find the specifics on the NAD Pathfinder website here.

I was responsible for the requirements #5 and #7. Here is a slide presentation about those 2 requirements:

5. List at least four mountains mentioned in the Bible and tell what important events took place there: Mt Ararat, Mt. Carmel, Mt. Sinai, and Mt. Nebo.

7. Choose one of the following verses about mountains and recite it: a. Psalm 90:2 b. Isaiah 52:7 c. Isaiah 55:12
