Pathfinder Home cache is to be found near the club room of the Invercargill Pathfinder Club.
Coordinates, accurate to 5m.
Pathfinder Clubs are found in most countries around the world even though the name may be different in non English speaking locations. The club is celebrating 65th anniversary this year (2011). The club is for 10-15 year old children and teaches by activity based learning. Being part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church the club teaches the importance of a close relationship to the creator God and how we need to live in the world today in harmony with God and each other. Bush craft skills are also taught appropriate to the age group. Every 2nd or 3rd year there are Camporees when many clubs attend and camp for several days, have completions and do service projects in the community. One of the big events is held in the Division South America in Brazil where they had two in 2019 4 days each having 50,000 attended. In Oshkosh there is the international camporee where clubs from around the world can attend.
In NZ our club attended our local NZPUC Ilumine camporee for NZ, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Cook Is. It was held at White Rock near Christchurch 1500 attended. All had a great time various activities. And getting used to the French translation.
The cache, 450g screw top silver container, is located on private property so respect is necessary. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been in Invercargill as an organization since 21 December 1921. The Oamaru stone building on this property was dedicated in 1964. Because this cache is on a church site there will be times when lots of muggles will be about to make it near to impossible to achieve the find. The time not to attempt this one is between 9 am and 3pm Saturdays (you are welcome to attend the services there). There also may be evenings where access will be limited. Parking can be done on the property. Please keep off the garden. You will not need to go onto the garden to succeed. GZ visible from many directions so take care and replace with care. Many people park and walk through this car park during the day.
When planted cache held: first to find prize, several swaps including a small good book and the usual logbook and pencil.
Apparently the pencil is gone so please bring your writing instrument to fill out the log.
