PATHFINDER CAMPOREE

General Requirements:

All pathfinders should camp by clubs within your Federation (See Camp Layout). Pathfinders should be a part of a complete unit consisting of no more than eight (8) pathfinders with adult counselor.

Each club should be self-sustaining. This means that each club will furnish adequate shelter, food, equipment, and anything else needed for the well-being of the pathfinders.

Counselors will assume full responsibility for the pathfinders in their units and will be with them at all times.

Counselors and other staff are to lead out in maintaining a consistently safe environment of all Pathfinder, and activities.

Inspections will be made of unit living areas. Tents and equipment must be arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

Each Club must be covered by accident insurance (Primary or Secondary insurance) so that each pathfinder and staff member will be protected.

Each pathfinder club will be responsible for all transportation to and from and during the Camporee. All vehicles used must be covered by adequate insurance in compliance with local state insurance laws for liability limits.

Only drivers with a known reputation for good driving shall transport pathfinders. The number of riders shall not exceed the seating/seatbelt capacity.

Open trucks or open pick-ups shall not be used to transport Pathfinders.

3

The use of trailers and moving vans are prohibited for use in transporting Pathfinders and staff. When using campers, verbal communication must be available at all times between drivers and all passengers.

When motor homes are used to transport pathfinders, seating capacity shall be adhered to strictly.

Each vehicle shall have adult supervision (at least 21 years of age.)

Be sure to take a little extra cash in case of a breakdown. And it may be a good idea to stay together as much as possible.

Each vehicle must carry Parental Permission Slips for the passengers in that vehicle.

Each adult staff member should be in full uniform. Each club will bring its pathfinder flag and American flag which will be posted at clubs entrance and carried to formal functions and parades as directed. (Support staff is exempt).

ATTENTION: Pathfinder and staff are to be trained in the basic drill information and proper procedures for raising and lowering the flag. We are more interested in having each pathfinder of every club know how to execute the basic movements than to have a few do fancy drills, even though in its place that is important as well.

Buckets and containers for carrying water to your campsites are necessary. There is plenty of water, but the faucets are located at certain points.

Uniform: The official pathfinder uniform is to be worn for all events requiring uniforms.

Outside disturbances: No radios, CD players or other electrical musical devices are to be brought to the Camporee, unless the club is going to use it as background music for their part on the program. The director will keep charge of the musical device.

Each club must obtain and bring parental permission slip for each Pathfinder who attend the Camporee

SWR PATHFINDERS

All Club tents are to be pitched in your Federation area. They are to face east towards the Directors tent (Lake). The position of the region rotates each year to the right.

General Campsite Items: Axe, Bucket, Complete and adequate First Aid Kit, Ground Cloths, Shovel, Tent Pegs, Tent Poles, U. S. and Pathfinder Flags.

Personal Items: Bible, Canteen, Cup, Fork, Mess Kit, Dirty Clothes Bag, Extra Batteries and Bulbs, Flashlight, Gloves, Ground Cloth, Hat/Cap, Insect Repellent, Notebook, Pack or Duffle Bag, Pajama or night wear, Pathfinder Dress Uniform, Pencil, Pillow (foam or air), Rain Parka, Sabbath School Lesson, Shoes, Sleeping Bag, Soap, Socks, Spoon, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Towel, Underwear, Warm Jacket, Washcloth, Whistle.

As you begin planning for the Camporee, be certain to have covered the following:

Transportation, Food, Lodging, Budgetary Needs

Transportation - Keep the following in mind:

Food: The standard of vegetarian meals shall be adhered to, without exception, when Pathfinder organization (clubs, units, etc.) is serving the meals.

Operation of gas stoves shall be carried out only by staff or older Pathfinder members

Stove fuel shall be stored away from heat and flame.

Plan well-balanced meals. Gather the pathfinders to see how they want to prepare the meals. Remember to give them definite responsibilities to keep them within the time schedule for meals and camp duties.

Provide an adequate supply of food for the Pathfinders. Especially make plans for plenty of liquid to drink during the day to keep them for becoming dehydrated.

Lodging: A shelter which will adequately protect the Pathfinders and staff from the elements shall be used. Pathfinders of opposite sex are not permitted to stay in the same shelter.

Budgetary needs please note that we will be charging each individual in attendance a basic Camporee fee. This will help cover the cost of Camporee patches and use of camp facilities.

6

This will vary with your food purchases, method of transportation, and the distance traveled. Some clubs foot a good portion of the fee, if not the entire amount, for all those in attendance. Please keep in mind that God expects us to manage His money accurately and well.

During the Sabbath hours: guard against wood cutting, rock throwing, knife throwing, certain games, rowdiness, etc. on God’s holy day. Strong club leadership will show if your boys and girls are well organized on God’s special day.

Sabbath Afternoon: During free time, take the pathfinders for a hike and let them discover things in nature that tell them more about God and His love. Let the Pathfinder themselves tell stories. Tell some of them before the camping trip to prepare a story. Take a unit on a “Nature exploring” walk. Sabbath is really a special day. Let them be of service to others during this time.

Meetings: We would urge counselors to sit with their units during all general meetings. Please make sure all unit members come to the meetings. Do not allow them to remain behind in their tent area.

Designate the following responsibilities daily from among your Pathfinder members.

Sanitation Engineer – to check that the trash is put away proper, to maintain orderliness and cleanliness in camp.

Time-Keeper – to remind everybody of the schedule for the day. Time-keepers must hold a copy of the Camp Schedule.

Inspector - to inspect the tents and to see to it that are neat and in order. Instruct the staff to spend less time doing your members’ work for them and more time showing them how.

Brief your Pathfinders and staff of the Camporee activities. Encourage everyone to be time-conscious and adhere to time schedule. Larger clubs may designate camp responsibilities By Units to be supervised by a Counselor; smaller clubs may form work groups of two to be supervised by a staff member.

Thursday & Friday: Who takes care of registering the club? Who takes care of pitching tents according to suggested club camping plan? Who takes care of cooking, cleaning up, putting away or trash? Sabbath: Who takes care of cooking for breakfast, dinner, supper? Who takes care of clean-up? Who takes care of putting away of trash?

Sunday: Who takes care of cooking for breakfast, dinner, supper? Who takes care of clean-up? Who takes care of putting away of trash?

Southwest Region Pathfinder Campsite and Uniform Inspection

Campsite and Uniform Inspection

The most common criticism of Camporee inspection is that they are not evenly judged. Each inspector grades differently and when they get home, clubs don’t know where and why they lost points. The following guidelines are unique to Southwest Region Pathfinders and are to be followed at all Conference Camporee events.

1. Each and every Area Coordinator and Club Director in the Southwest Region Conference is to be present and available to be a part of the inspection team, assisted by the conference.

2. Each inspection sheet is detailed and explicit as to what is expected.

3. The completed sheet remains with the club director for future reference.

If by any time a club director feels there is an error in his/her inspection sheet, he/she should take the following steps to dispute the inspection sheet.

1. Meet with the chairman of the inspection team.

2. Appeal to the Camporee Director.

Campsite Inspection

The campsite and uniform inspection will be on Sabbath and Sunday morning. All directors/pathfinders should be present at the campsite inspection at the appointed time. He/she must observe proper military courtesy. The inspection includes proper flag position(see Flag section of the Handbook) guidons, neatness, camp arrangement, ground left natural, litter-free, rain and fire protection, first aid kit and medical release forms on display, tent flaps open for inspection and Bibles displayed. Uniform

Inspection

The uniform inspection will be based on the latest edition of the updated manual and NAD Pathfinder Manual. The following guidelines are particular to the Southwest Region Conference:

1. For the purpose of inspection, mixed uniform will be counted as no uniform. The Pathfinder must have both shirt and pants or shirt/slacks and blouse.

2. There must be class arrangement on a uniform. If the Pathfinder has been invested, his/her class pin, class chevron, and class strip must agree.

3. The scarf and slides, honor sash, black belts are considered a basic part of uniform.

4. Uniforms on order are judged as no uniform.

5. Uniforms that are grossly un-kept, patches that are falling off, scuffed shoes or dirty shoes, patches or pins unauthorized by the conference will result in a loss of points.

that could give it away. Once all Pathfinders have read their

number they will be instructed to put on their blindfolds. When

the leader of the game signals, all players on each team will try

to put their members into a numerical order line. It is

accomplished when they are in the correct order. The game
