The SAIL Pathfinders have been hard at work building nesting boxes as part of a fundraiser for the upcoming International Camporee. The nesting boxes are designed to be attractive to Black-Crested Titmice, Carolina Chickadees, and Downy Woodpeckers. We saw successful nesting in the boxes last year. Now is the time to get these posted, as the birds are looking for a place to set up their new home.

Last weekend our club’s very own TLTs went to the Texas TLT Convention. [TLT stands for Teen Leadership Training, a special program for select teen Pathfinders to expand their skills and take on leadership roles in their local clubs and communities.] The TLTs and their SAIL club mentor headed to Lake Whitney for the great adventure! Even with camping in the cold weather they all managed to have a blast!
“It was one of the best camps I’d been on in a while!” Jasmine said. “Even with the cold air we got to meet so many new people and make new friends! I can’t wait to see all of them again during camporee!” Many TLTs came to the convention from all different parts of Texas! Our TLTs got to meet and make friends with so many other TLTs. Rachel says about the convention: “I had a lot of fun at the TLT convention. I met many different clubs from all over Texas and got to know them and spend time with them. I was happy to see so many people my age who are also passionate about pathfinders and doing Gods will.” There were many activities for the TLTs that weekend. They went to classes to learn how to be great leaders, practice their drill, vespers, sing, played games, and of course worship. “I liked [going to] the classes because I got to meet and socialize with other TLTs,” Jacob said. “It was a much needed experience, it was fun yet informational and useful. I’ll never forget it.” One of the highlights for the TLTs was the rope course named “Odyssey.” It’s brand new and the TLTs there were one of the first groups to get to go on the course. Our TLTs had a great time on the course and all successfully passed through it! “I feel like my favorite part was the rope course” says Lindsay, “But I feel like they could have made [the rope course] a bit more challenging. Overall, it was a good time.” The TLT convention was another success for our TLTs, everyone had a great time (even with the very cold weather) and made many new friends! Cheers to another step closer to international camporee! The SAIL Pathfinders hosted a Valentine's Banquet this past weekend as a social event and fundraiser for the upcoming International Camporee. Volunteers prepared a many-course meal and desert, decorated, and set up a photo station. The Pathfinders provided child care, served the attendees, and performed several musical numbers and poetry readings as entertainment with the dinner. It was a wonderful evening, highlighting positive relationships, delicious food, and our talented Pathfinders.
