PATHFINDER INDUCTION
CEREMONY
PATHFINDER CLUB
March in
PATHFINDER SONG:
PRAYER:
DIRECTOR:
I hereby proclaim the induction ceremony of the Choma Central
Pathfinder Club to be called to order and declared in session. For the light of our
program we now turn to the “Spirit of Pathfindering”.
As we turn off the room lights, the candle which I now light represents this spirit,
which is the essence of pathfindering. It is the spirit of achievement, adventure,
awakening, and awareness; the spirit of beauty, blessing, commitment, comradely,
and consecration; the spirit of dedication, duty, energy and enthusiasm.
But above all it is the Spirit of Reverence, and the Spirit of Service to GOD and
man. But this light is of itself not complete or sufficient. To introduce the
complementary lights I now call on the assistance of our deputy director(s).
-1
The Pathfinder Friend class is a course of study in spiritual awareness, intellectual
learning, manual skills, and physical fitness that will enable the young pathfinder to
be a better neighbour in the church and the community, and a friend of God
throughout eternity.
-2
The Pathfinder Companion class is a course of study in spiritual growth, mental
development and learning, manual skills, and physical fitness that will enable the
growing pathfinder to acquire a deeper meaning to life, and a meaningful
companionship with Our Lord Jesus Christ every hour of every day.

The Pathfinder Explorer class is a course of study in spiritual development, mental
growth and learning, manual skills, and physical fitness that will enable the
developing pathfinder to discover new methods, and experience new adventures in
exploring God’s written word, and His created works.
-4
The Pathfinder Ranger class is a course of study including spiritual, mental, manual,
and physical development that will lead the pathfinder to new areas of discovery in
the natural world, together with new and deeper spiritual understanding that will open
the way to greater happiness and genuine fulfilment.
-5
The Pathfinder Voyager class is a course of study that will encourage and lead the
more mature pathfinders to dedicate themselves more fully to acquiring a deeper
and broader understanding of God through a diligent and consistent study of His
written word and the marvels evident in His created works as seen through the book
of nature.
-5
The Pathfinder Guide class is a course of study that emphasizes personal growth
and spiritual discovery, guides the more mature pathfinders to the development of
new survival skills, nurtures the development of leadership skills, and strengthens
the commitment to being a dedicated servant of God and a friend to man.
DIRECTOR:
These candles represent all the good and noble achievements and learning which
are embodied in the Pathfinder program. They symbolize both the high ideals for
which pathfindering stands, and the growth and achievement that each pathfinder
will experience as a member of the pathfinder club.
We will now proceed with the solemn ceremony of lighting the Pathfinder Pledge

Welcome
Have a Prayer
Special music
I declare the ceremony of Initiation of the Master Guide Club of the Church of choma central now in
progress (the director lights the candle and the sanctuary lights fade dimly).
The candle that now is lit represents the Master Guide spirit. This is a spirit of learning, of adventure,
of companionship, of friendship, of physical, mental and spiritual development. It is mainly a spirit of
reverence, a spirit of service to God and to man. This light alone it is not enough or complete, so we
need to call the lights that supplement this light.
(A Master Guide will lit a candle and say a colors that represent the emblems of the Master
Guides Ministry)
RED
This color reminds us of Christ's sacrifice. This is a permanent memory of the innocent blood
spilled by Jesus whom so much loved us. The very well-known scripture verse of Juan. 3:16: “For God
so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life”. Hebrews 9:26: “If he had offered himself every year, he would have
suffered many times since the creation of the world. But instead, near the end of time He offered
himself once and for all, so that he could be a sacrifice that does away with sin.”
WHITE
This color represents purity. Purity means being undiluted or unmixed with extraneous material, in
other words 100% clean Many have said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. When the peace
of God invades the soul, that person is pure and inspires trust. The text in Revelations 3:5, “Everyone
who wins the victory will wear white clothes. Their names will not be erased from the book of life,
and I will tell my Father and his angels that they are my followers”. In 1Timothy 4:12 “Don't let
anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other followers by what
you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity.” Colossians 3:9 “Do not lie to each other,
since you have taken off your old self with its practices.”
BLUE
This color represents loyalty. A Master Guide maintains a fixed look upon his leader, who is Jesus,
and is always on behalf of justice. The word betrayal doesn't exist in our vocabulary, because we are
loyal to our Master. The text in Jeremiah 42:5: “Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true
and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with everything the LORD your God
sends you to tell us.” Psalms 89:37 “it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness
in the sky.” Proverbs 25:13 “Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to
those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.”
GOLD
This color represents excellence. The excellence is the grade of perfection reached by a person, or an
institution. In our case, the Christian is urged to come closer to Christ's stature. "Be perfect,
therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect", in the personal life, a Master Guide tries to reach
excellence by observing the laws, constantly remembering to walk with perseverance. The text in
Revelations 3:18, “I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich.”
Philippians 3:8 “What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of
knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I
may gain Christ.”
The candle of the spirit of Master Guides is a symbol of good things, of high characters and ideals, it
is a symbol of spiritual development with goals that we have to put as members of the club, that way
our youth and adults will learn more about themselves and more on the part that they will take in the
last events of the history. The Law, Pledge, Motto and Aim will help us to be able to arrive to these
ideals.
NOTE: Salute for the Law and Pledge by placing your right hand over your heart.
LAW
PLEDGE
“Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part in the work of the Adventist Youth Society,
doing what I can to help others and to finish the work of the gospel in all the world.”
