Registration - August 5, 2020

As we begin the final weeks of summer break our team has been actively working to find ways to creatively continue our Pathfinder Club meetings. Just like with many other school and church related ministries, we too are unsure of what the future holds in this COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are moving on and planning for the year, knowing that any time our plans may change.
Times and Fees
The Collegedale Pathfinder Club registration is Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the lower Church parking lot and CA Elementary School pavilion. It is very important that at least one parent attends with their Pathfinder(s). We highly encourage you to save time by printing the registration forms below on this page and bring them on August 5 completed. If you will be out of town on that day, simply fill out the registration forms and return them to the Church Office by August 5.
​The forms can also be emailed to: collegedalepathfinders@gmail.com. 
A $25 registration fee will be charged to anyone who registers after August 5. This fee is waived if you register by August 5. No registrations will be accepted after August 26.
Membership is open to youth grades 5 through 12 who would like to participate in activities ranging from community outreach, earning honors, camping, and more. The monthly dues:
  • Grades 5 and 6 are $25  
  • Grades 7-12 are $30.
Uniform
New members are required to purchase a Class A uniform. Sample sizes will be available to try on before ordering.

Please make sure to check that your uniform and t-shirt still fits and that you have all of the pieces before coming to registration. If you have items that don't fit anymore and you wish to trade or sell, you are welcome to put it on the Collegedale Pathfinder's Facebook page.   The club will not be selling used uniforms, if you have any that you would like to donate you can drop them off at the church during regular business hours (1:00-4:00PM)
Questions
If you have questions, email collegedalepathfinders@gmail.com or visit www.pathfindersrus.com.
While we hate to think that you might not be back, please let us know if you have chosen not to return to Pathfinders this year.  Because of all the challenges this year, it will help to know as soon as possible who will be joining us.  Thanks so much. 
We look forward to seeing everyone at registration on August 5 at 6:30 p.m.!
COVID-19 Plan
The Collegedale Explorers Pathfinder Club understands the health concerns surrounding our county. We are currently planning a fun year, knowing we may need to adjust things along the way. Our main concern is providing the best for our youth and our primary goal is to be together and growing in Christ through an exceptional Club experience. We have prayed and discussed what would be best for our youth.
During at least the first few weeks Pathfinders will go directly to their unit’s (grade) outdoor meeting area where they will have worship, announcements, and work on the investiture achievement activities as a smaller group. Their unit counselor will do temperature checks as they arrive. Hand sanitizer will be available and we encourage you to remind your kids to wash their hands frequently. Masks are recommended.  We will closely follow Georgia-Cumberland Conference’s leadership and counsel on Pathfinder activities, and CDC and Hamilton County Health Department’s guidelines for youth gatherings.
Staff Forms - Other Staff Information
About the Image Release Section - This section of the application is intended for the purpose of obtaining parental permission to display photos in the Communiqué or any other Georgia-Cumberland Conference publication and/or purpose, they do not include the child's name.  We've been asked to have parents sign this as a part of club registration.

Uniform Pants

Remember the Pathfinders and staff must have black dress pants and black shoes for their uniform.  Since most of you will be buying school clothes soon, you may want to remember to make sure that your child has Pathfinder shoes.  The shoes must not have any white on them, and sandals, high heels, or platform shoes are not appropriate.  Remember the Pathfinders will need to be able to march in their shoes without tripping, twisting their ankles or falling off of them.

​Uniform pants can be a challenge for the Pathfinder family.  So as to be able to present ourselves in a "uniform" manner we ask that parents purchase their Pathfinder's pants online through a trusted site.  We will continue to use the Dickies Brand.  Black Twill is the standard.  Men and boys can be found at Wal-Mart.  The preferred boys pant is the Cell phone pocket pant.  Junior sizes are only available online, please avoid very tight style for girls and juniors.  Many sites have slim and husky.  Please order soon to ensure your child has the proper uniform for induction.

Pathfinders may choose their style as long as there are no cargo pockets.  Thank you parents for all you do to keep your Pathfinder looking sharp!
