Pathfinder Rally
Over 350 Pathfinders gathered for the annual Pathfinder Rally Day at Gilson College.
The Rally Day is a special event to honour, congratulate, and recognise the achievements of Pathfinders, Leaders and Clubs throughout 2024.
A huge congratulations to all of our Pathfinders that received special awards and accolades on the day. Including Master Guides, Pathfinder Awards of Excellence and the Pathfinder Leadership Award.
A special congratulations as well to the Casey Pathfinder Club, for receiving the Dave Sheppard Award in 2024 for excellence in Pathfindering.
Thank you to all the clubs that helped make the day a success, especially for the fantastic music from the Lilydale and Clayton Cook Island clubs, along with a special performance from the Gilson College Pathfinder Club!
We also want to express our gratitude to all the Pathfinder clubs across Victoria. Your hard work made 2024 an incredible year for Pathfinders, and we can't wait to see what the future holds
Adventurer Rally
Adventurers Family Rally Day was a special day celebrating our Adventurers from across our 17 clubs in Victoria and acknowledging our leaders/teams. They commit much time, effort, and energy to this special ministry. Over 200 Adventurers filed into the NCC assembly hall, with over 100 parents and caregivers supporting them.
For the first time in a long time, our Nhill club joined us! They had travelled five hours to be part of the day—a big thank you to Karen for making the trip with her club.
Our rally theme was based around the Olympics with the catchphrase “Champions for God,” which our speaker, Pr Piroska, explored very well with an exciting story that had our Adventurers engaged and involved and sitting on the edge of their seats.
After worshipping together, the rest of our time was filled with fun activities run by our Casey, Gilson, Carrum Downs, Lilydale, Wantirna and North Melbourne clubs. The kids had a great time rotating through the different stations. Therefore, we want to express our gratitude to all our Adventurer Clubs across Victoria, mainly our leaders and the many volunteers. Your hard work made Adventurers in 2024 an incredible year. Thank you for the year that was, and we look forward to the coming year.
Our theme for 2025 will be “Love more than a word.” Have a great festive season, and stay safe.
