About this Event

Calling all Pathfinder and Adventurer Directors and Staff. We are excited to host our Club Ministries Director and Staff Training on August 2, 2026 at La Sierra University from 8am-6pm. This training will empower and equip you to lead your club and better prepare your staff to take on new roles and responsibilities to become the leaders God has called them to be.

We will be providing Certification Courses for Directors, Secretaries/Treasurers, and Instructors, for both Pathfinders and Adventurers. We will also be offering the Counselor track for Pathfinders and lectures for Master Guides in training. (Courses listed below) This training is open to club ministries staff.
