Grade for Requirements for Adventurers

Eligibility for being in Adventurers is based on the child being in grades 1st through 4th and not based on their age.  The curriculum classes were created to meet the knowledge of the children in these grades.

Pre-Adventurer Age Children in Adventurers

Many parents are willing to help in Adventurer Clubs if their younger children can participate. To allow these children to join, the club must:

  1. Include these children in registration and insurance.
  2. Use the Little Lamb or Eager Beaver curriculum for these children, so they can participate in the club within their range of ability.  These programs should have minimal structure and sufficient staff to work with the children on an individual basis. Their program should last no longer than one hour.
  3. Pre-Adventurer age children should wear the appropriate T-shirt and scarf for the group.

Looking Forward to Pathfinders

Adventurers look forward to the day when they will become Pathfinders. One of the goals of the Adventurer director and staff must be to keep the Pathfinder experience exciting and new by not infringing on their program.  The Adventurer program is a unique, special and geared to the emotional and spiritual needs of this age child.  Don’t let Adventurers miss this opportunity by pushing them into the pathfinder mold. Let them be Adventurers and let them look forward to being Pathfinders.
