Teen Event 2019 (February 15-17, 2019)
Teen Event Sign Up (Registration Closed) because there are a limited number of openings for this event we need for you to let us know as soon as possible! Permission Form
There will be a Teen Event at Cohutta Springs February 15-17, 2019. This is open to those Pathfinders that are in grades 7-12. Participates will be staying in cabins. No supper will be provided on Friday night, so you will need to either eat before you leave or bring a sack supper. Everyone will be staying in cabins.
Pathfinders will be earning the Prayer honor in an outdoor setting (bring warm clothing), participating in a service project at Cohutta providing for kids in need, and learning service through several unity-building activities. There will also be a "Teens Got Talent" show on Saturday night...poems, skits, singing, comedy, instruments, etc. Come prepared to share whatever your God-given talent is!
Bring personal items, bedding (staying in cabins), Bible, rain gear, warm clothing for outside activities. The tentative times to leave and return are: Leave by 5 PM on Friday, return Sunday right after breakfast.
