Pathfinder Companion Investiture Achievement

The complete Companion requirements (for grade 6) can be found at https://www.clubministries.org/investiture-achievement/companion-level/

I have made the following PowerPoints which are a compilation of information, videos, and activities I have found on the web and others I have come up with. I like to use them as a backdrop for teaching the class or honor. As the instructor, I find it helpful to keep me on track and make sure that I cover all the information. It also fills in the gaps of things I’m not well versed on. I try to include activities in the presentation which we can do to add some fun and spice of life. I hope you find them useful too.

Honors — Potential PowerPoint Presentations:

Adventist Pioneers

Cacti Honor

Camping Skills II Honor

Knots

Animal Tracking

We had a lot of fun with the Animal Tracking honor. We did this as a family activity with the Adventurers. Most of our Companions had siblings in Adventurers at the time. One of the first activities was to follow the tracks we placed throughout the church and find the stuffed animal near the end. The kids then matched the track with the animal on their log book page. Here is the pdf of the tracks and logbook page.

This honor is presented in a Power Point presentation also which includes the above activity, a game, the honor questions, and directions for other tracking activities. Download here:

The Cultural Diversity Appreciation Honor is a fun honor. You can personalize it as you wish. Choose a country or two that are meaningful to your Pathfinders.

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.

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.
