The SAIL Pathfinders sent two teams to the Central Texas North Area Pathfinder Bible Experience, giving them a chance to demonstrate their knowledge of the books of Joshua and Judges. Although our teams will not move on to the next level, the SAILs performed well, and showcased all they had learned from studying the two books. For several Pathfinders, this was their first year attending, and the experience they gained will be invaluable as they look toward next year's competition. At the event, the SAILs were also surprised to be awarded as a Texas Pathfinder Diamond Club for last year, a reflection of the commitment and participation of the SAIL club. After the PBE event, the SAILs stopped by their favorite joint for some ice cream - a well deserved reward. 

This week, during our regular club meeting, the SAILs reviewed and practiced many of the skills in basic rescue - useful skills for our club outings. We reviewed why someone may need moved (and when not to move them), and practiced several different ways, using available materials, to move a victim from a secondary life threatening situation. Each year, we review and practice rescue and first aid skills, to ensure that our Pathfinders are prepared for any emergency situation they may encounter.

The Pathfinders also had the opportunity to taste test several samples of baked goods (including a homemade apple pie) that one of the Pathfinders made as part of their work on the Baking honor. Up next is our Valentines Day fundraiser banquet.
