Antes del inicio del año escolar 2024-25, unos 75 educadores de toda la Columbia Union se reunieron para el campamento de entrenamiento de directores.

“Nuestro objetivo del campamento de entrenamiento es preparar mejor a nuestros líderes para dirigir”, dice la organizadora del evento Jacqueline Messenger, directora asociada de educación secundaria en la Columbia Union. “Sabemos que ser director es uno de los trabajos más difíciles en nuestro sistema, y queremos apoyar y hacer crecer a nuestros directores”.

With another potential strong storm forecasted to come through Gillette, Wy., tomorrow, International Camporee leaders had to make the hard logistical decision to cancel the Sabbath morning and Saturday evening programs previously scheduled to conclude the event. “Every effort is being made to keep Pathfinders safe during the next few days,” say event leaders.

Baptism, a special occasion in which candidates are celebrated for publicly giving their lives to God, can be intimidating for some; being the center of attention isn’t everyone’s forte.

Now picture getting baptized in front of 60,000-plus Pathfinders, staff and family members.

Statement from the International Pathfinder Camporee Leadership team:

Because the safety of all those gathered at the International Pathfinder Camporee is of utmost importance, the camporee leadership, in collaboration with North American Division union, division and international leadership, has reluctantly decided to finish the evening main stage nighttime program one day early, on Friday, August 9.

Severe thunderstorms, strong winds and hail are predicted for Sabbath late afternoon and evening. Every effort is being made to keep Pathfinders safe during the next few days.
