...Pathfinder Induction Program DIRECTOR: I hereby declare this Induction Ceremony of the _____________________ Pathfinder Club now in session. All lights out!! DIRECTOR: For the light for our program we turn to the Spirit of Pathfindering. The candle which I now light represents this spirit. It is the spirit of adventure, fun, learning, camaraderie, awareness, and awakening, and above all, a spirit of reverence and a Spirit of Service to God and man. This light now illuminates the Pathfinder insignia, the badge of our organization. This insignia is rich in symbolism: (The appropriate item on the Pathfinder triangle to be pointed out as the following is recited) DIRECTOR: RED s tands for sacrifice. It reminds us of the sacrifice of Christ. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 Also, it reminds us that we are instructed to "Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God." Romans 12:1 DIRECTOR: The THREE SIDES represent the completeness of the God-head: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Also, we are reminded of the balance we must strive for in our program: Mental - crafts and honors. Physical - camp outs, work bees. Spiritual - Outreach activities, witnessing DIRECTOR: GOLD represents excellence. "I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire so you can become rich." Rev. 3:18 Gold is also a standard of measurement. The Pathfinder Club has high...

...PATHFINDER CLUB What is the Pathfinder Club History of Brooklyn Faith Knights Club Mission Statement Our Motto Goals and Objective Club Schedule Program Schedule Other Activities WHAT IS THE PATHFINDER CLUB? The Pathfinder Club is a church-centered spiritual-recreational-activity based program which provides an outlet for the spirit of adventure and exploration that is found in every junior youth. This includes carefully tailored activities in outdoor living, nature exploration, crafts, hobbies, or vocations beyond the possibilities in an average Adventist Junior Youth Society. It is filled with action, adventure, challenge, group activities, and provides opportunities for the development of new activities and skills that produce personal growth, team or community spirit and a sense of loyalty and respect for God, His creation, and His Church. With this given setting, spiritual emphasis is well received, and the Pathfinder Club has well demonstrated its soul winning influence. In many local churches Pathfinder Clubs have replaced the traditional Adventist Junior Youth society, and where there is a church school the Pathfinder Club should supplement the work of the Adventist Junior Youth Society. Pathfinders in ActionA sampling of activities in the Pathfinder Club includes camporees, fairs, craft study, nature exploration, Bible Study, witnessing projects, field trips, and many other interesting adventures. Youth from ages 10-15 (and older) are eligible...

...ability to work as part of a team. My participation in the Duke of Edinburgh bronze Award has further developed my skills to be able to work in a group. During expeditions we struggled and had trouble navigating towards our final destination, it was extremely important for us to work together as a team to find a solution and to go on and achieve our goal. An example where I worked as a leader and shown my leadership skills would be in my role as a guide at a pathfinder scouting group that I have been with for 6 years and been a guide for 2 years. Within the group I would organize meetings and what would be done within the meetings so, the activities that would be taking place. This role as a guide presents me with the opportunity to interact with younger age groups. I have also helped the pathfinder group with camps which required me to think on my feet as well as being practical, this included me guiding the younger ranks on hikes and sometimes leading the group in drilling and exercise classes. Working with the pathfinders and adapting to their way of thinking has been a challenge for me, but this challenge has helped me enjoy being a...

...The fourth of July, 1997, a celebrated day in the United States of America. Along with the traditional national holiday, something else is being celebrated for another reason. The first exploration rover has landed on Mars, in Ares Vallis. Launched eight months before the landing, the Pathfinder mission was declared a success after a quick systems check. Over a total of two months and twenty-three days, Pathfinder sent back 2.3 bits of data, including 16,500 pictures from the lander itself and more than 550 from the Sojourner rover. An important date in the Pathfinder mission was December 4, 1996, when Pathfinder and Sojourner were launched from the Cape Canaveral launch pad. They were launched via a Delta 7925, the more powerful version of the Delta II booster. The Delta II boosters consisted of five components: the first stage for ascension, solid rocket motors which are used to increase engine thrust, the payload fairing to protect the spacecraft, the second stage which houses the fuel, oxidizer, and the ‘brains’, and the third stage which provides most of the velocity change for the trajectory to Mars....

...You could say that Klug was born to be a Pathfinder. Born to a heroine of many Pathfinder expeditions. His mother, Kara, was on a campaign in the frozen lands above the Lake of Mists and Veils; when she became separated from the rest of her party and found herself alone and freezing to death. She had nearly given up all hope when she was saved by the most unlikely of rescuers. Kara's rescuer was an orc. He was a huge specimen even for his kind. When he picked her up from the snow, already so frozen she could no longer move, she was sure she would be his next meal. Kara spent the next 3 months living in a cave with this gigantic orc. Though they had no common language, they developed a deep affection for each other. Kara was often surprised by the tenderness of this gentle giant. As time passed in the lonely cave, Kara was able to learn enough orcish to converse with her savior. She was surprised to learn that Hug was an outcast from his tribe because of his gentle ways....

...summer of 2003 we sent two rovers to Mars. These rovers where sent to Mars to give NASA a better understanding of the climate and water on Mars. With the technology that the Mars Rovers had it was like we were sending up two geologists. Spirit was the first rover to be sent off to Mars and it left June 10th, 2003 and landed January 3rd, 2004. It would be followed by Opportunity which was sent off on July 7th, 2003 and landed January 24th, 2004. NASA’s original goal for the rovers was very easy. They just wanted them to travel 40 meters in 1 day and to travel a total of 1 kilometer total. These rovers did that and a whole lot more and are currently still going. The design of these rovers came from the basic design of the 1997 Mars Pathfinder Mission. The rovers are identical they have 6 wheels and good suspension for driving over some harsh Mars surfaces. It has solar panels for its energy and also has radioisotope heater units for when the rover does not get a lot of sunlight. Each rover weighs 174 kilograms, is 1.6 meters long, and is 1.5 meters tall. The rovers also had a lot of heavy duty airbags for landing. These were very necessary because if any little piece broke it could affect the whole mission. The rovers also included different tools that would study the rocks and the surface of Mars to decide if there had ever been water on the planet. These tools consisted of a panoramic camera that helped the scientist from NASA move the rover around. It would look...

...Jordan Desai Professor Mayes Planetary Science 200 23 September 2015 Comparing Three Mars Rovers Mars is not easy to reach or explore. Nearly two-thirds of all missions have failed. However, in recent years, the United States has had more success landing rovers. Of recent missions, two rovers essentially crash-landed in a cocoon of airbags and one soft-landed. The first lander, Sojourner, part of the Mars Pathfinder mission, was about the size of a milk crate and weighed 33 pounds. It landed using airbags on July 4, 1997, and stayed active 10 times longer than scheduled. The next missions were the twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which were launched a few weeks apart and landed on opposite sides of the planet in the summer of 2003, also using airbag technology (NASA 1) . They both were the size of golf carts and outlasted their scheduled missions many times over. Curiosity landed in August 2012 and is the largest and most ambitious rover. The size and mass of a Mini Cooper, it survived a complex soft landing (Gibson 289). Curiosity also supports the most complex science, containing drills, lasers, and a small analytical laboratory. Curiosity can communicate with Earth in three ways. First, Curiosity can engage in direct communication from the rover to Earth’s Deep Space Network. Second, Curiosity can use a fast relay via the orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Finally, Curiosity can utilize a slow relay to communicate via the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The scientific...

...Sojourner Truth was a strong and confident woman. She endured many painful acts during her life as a slave. She was taken away from her parents at the age of nine years old, she was a proud advocate speaker, and she finally escaped slavery. First, Truth parents were born into slavery in 1797 to November 26,1883. When she was nine years old, she was taken away from her parents and, brought to to a rather terrible plantation. While being on the plantation Sojourner made many friends who taught her the ropes of being a slave, but later on her friends were sold to other plantations with higher beings sold to another plantation afterwards. Next, Truth was known as a proud advocate, speaker for her famous “Ain’t...

...Irvin Painters novel "Sojorner Truth: A Life, A Symbol", is a book about one of the most influential and important black women of the nineteenth century. The story of a slave turned legend and the basis of her representation of the freedoms that African Americans struggled to gain. Painter digs deep into the history of Truth, giving in depth information about how this once female slave turned herself into a leading woman in the abolitionist movement. The text is better illustrated by Painters use of illustrations to strengthen his points, giving the biography a little more of a novel feel to it in terms of reading. One of the things that Painter did well was the use of in depth research and use of different sources to be able to tell the truth from fiction. Nell Irvin Painter is the author behind the book, and has published over seven books to this date and has held positions such as the President of the Organizations of American Historians. The book itself was published in 1996, as a way to hopefully fill in some of the gaps in Truths life and kill some of the misguided myths that were told about her in past times. The facts about Truth are very scarce to the academic world, born Isabella Van Wagenen sometime during the late 1700's, she successfully somehow managed to get her freedom by 1826. She changed her Christian name to Sojourner Truth and started her preaching life, being one of the highest respected and sought after speaker for the abolitionist and feminist movement...

...Sojourner Truth was born into life- changing slavery but escaped for freedom to become a influential preacher. Sojourner was sold at a young age, beaten by her masters, and ran away for freedom. Truth faced many hardships in her life. Truth was sold at the age of nine at an auction and beaten by her owners. A violent farmer by the name of John Neely was her owner. Neely was an cruel violent man who abused Sojourner every day. She was sold more than once by owners who were almost similar by being harsh and abusing her. Sojourner was wounded and treated badly at a young age. Sojourner was uneducated and raised in a Dutch settlement. Truth only knew how to speak Dutch.

...Brittany Foertsch Ms. Cunningham ENGL 102 13 February 2012 Sojourner Truth (Isabella Baumfree) Sojourner Truth was born in 1797, legal name Isabella Baumfree in Ulster County, New York. She was one of thirteen children to James and Elizabeth. Truth was born a slave and had to serve a wealthy Dutch, Charles Hardenbergh. Truth only knew how to speak Dutch. At the age of eleven, she was sold from her family to John Neely for $100 and a herd of sheep. Truth didn’t understand English therefore was beaten by Neely’s wife because of the miscommunication between them. This made Truth understand and know English but always spoke with a Dutch accent. During the hardship of this period she relied on her deep Christian faith which her mother established in her. Truth was then sold to other owners before her last owner, John Dumont of New Paltz, New York. Here she was baldy mistreated and forced to marry his slave named Thomas. They had four children together. Truth then fled to New York City where she felt the calling from God to become a preacher. In 1843, Truth changed her name to Sojourner Truth because she felt her mission in life was to tell people the truth about slavery and women’s right. In 1850, Truth’s autobiography, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth, was published. The sales of autobiography funded her traveling and speaking arrangements. In 1854, Truth gave her most famous speech “Ain’t I a Woman” at the Ohio Woman’s Rights Convention. This inspired...
