Pathfindersonline

You forgot to put helping others! I would have picked that one!

I like all of them though, like you... it all comes together to make pathfinders great.

The best thing about Pathfinders is hanging out with friends and the best place is camping or at camporees. Especially now that i am older it interesting to go to events and see how my friends have changed.

Right on my friend Simeon!!!

I really enjoy the friends aspect of pathfinders It is nice to have some teens that have a good positive influence on me!!!

First of all I love hanging out with my friends...probably b/c I'm homeschooled and that's where I get my social interaction. Then comes camping and camporees!!! I love going there b/c I get to see all my friends from all over the conference that I probably wouldn't see otherwise! I think Pathfinders is great all the way around!!!!!

Friends mean a lot to those of us who homeschool!!! I would die without my friends!!! And Pathfinders!!!

I'm doing Alpha Omega Academy. It has been a good program...they've got their quirks, but you can do it on the computer or from books. You can call the teachers for help, and they've got an online campus that you can meet other students on. It's really a neat program. I just miss all the social interaction!!!

I like home schooling!

We have an interesting program. We don't follow any one program. I do have Alpha Omega Spanish. We chose the ones we like best.

Homeschooling gives you more time to do hobbies and outside stuff. I am verry much a people person, and I don't miss out socally! I have 2 friends that also homeschool and our church school is right next door. I'm active in our youth group and pathfinder group too... What is school for socializing or learning anyways!!

Homeschooling has also given me the opportunity for Mission trips, and other educational trips too. It's not for everybody but I like it

Well, my time was partially filled with music...and then Pathfinders...and school. It wasn't enough though. I don't even have a hobby to occupy my time. Any suggestions?
You're lucky...having the school right next door. That would make it easier...I suppose. Maybe I'm just not doing the right program. Oh well, I'm waiting to be accepted at the moment. I'm soooooooooo excited!!!!! Our youth group doesn't do all that much, so I'm lacking the socialness there. But it did let me do a cross-country trip in the fall...went to NC and back. It was great!!! Homeschooling has its advantages and disadvantages. But I think going to school is important...it helps you build social skills...at least it would with the younger kids. I'm pretty much perfect in all my social skills!!!

How you like Upper Columbia Academy Katie

Too bad you can't come to the camporee this weekend....

Camping has to be the best part of pathfinders...

Camping is the best part. That's were all the real fun is. Especially when we get to play night games, ie capture the flag, evasion, etc.... That would be my favorite part.

Yeah, that's basically what it is, except we play without flashlights. Kinda makes it more fun for us. It's really fun to play with the TLT's (and maybe some staff) versus everyone else. Even better if you have an ex army ranger on your team. We did that once, got all six of our team in against the 30 other people playing. What fun that was.

:wink: Glad you Survived and are having a good time at UCA

Did you pathfindering expertese help you in Senior survival?? I would think it would.



This last weekend at the UCC Pathfinder Camporee, I played a Bible Smuglers Game. We watched a video about a boy in Russia (at the time the USSR) that smuggled bibles. Then we played the game. We had to smuggle bible verses from point A to point B. If a Gastapo person caught us we had to say the verse for memory. If we got it right they would let us go if not the would confinscate the verse and we would have to start all over...

It was fun

I love survival things kind of things. It's like capture the flag. My conference has done something like that, except it was like a refugee thing. I think they wanted us to know what it would be like to be persecuted. I really enjoyed.

Yea, marchings fun, The last couple years I've been the drill master for the my clubs freestyle team.

Awesome, winter camping!! I love camping in the snowy, cold inviorment of winter. Always, always dress for the weather though...

Have you ever built a snow shelter? It is amaizing how warm they can be when you sleep in them.
