Pathfinders is a worldwide organization of young people. We can be compared to Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts because we do so many of the same types of things. However, there are also many differences.

First of all, our club members are both boys and girls however, they are subdivided into units of all boys or all girls.

Secondly, we are a Christian organization, though young people of any religious persuasion, or none at all, are welcome and encouraged to join the organization. Being a Christian organization means that the adults involved in Pathfinders are Christians. They will uphold Christian values in their own lives as they deal with your children. It also means that we begin each meeting with a worship.

We are a patriotic organization. We also begin each meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. We also teach about the proper way to take care of, display, and put away the American Flag. And the history behind the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.

We teach classes in a variety of recreational, artistic, nature, conservation, vocational, and outreach areas, with award patches (honors) given for successful completion of these classes.

We have a variety of activities including camp outs and community outreach activities
