Parent's Pledge

The Adventurer Club was created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as a child’s primary teacher and evangelizer. The program aims to strengthen the parent/child relationship and to further the child’s development in spiritual, physical, mental, and social areas. Parental involvement, therefore, is the key to making this club a success. Mandatory parental participation is a requirement for your child to be a member of the Adventurer Club. Your job will be to assist the children with the awards/chips/stars they are working on. You will be required to sign up for at least two (2) days to assist for each child you have enrolled in the Adventurer Club. We request that a parent stay with their child for at least the first 15 minutes of each meeting to participate in the pledge, law, song, prayer. The following is a list of parent responsibilities: 1. Please be respectful of the leadership team by having your child on time for each meeting. 2. Join us for at least the first 15 minutes of each meeting. The first 15 minutes are the most important because we will be making announcements regarding upcoming events. 3. Support your child and leaders by willingly signing up to help at a minimum of 2 meetings per child/per year. 4. Participate in scheduled weekend club activities with your child. You must get approval from the leadership team if you want your child supervised by another family. There may be activities planned that will require additional money. This can be a financial burden for some families. If anyone is interested in sponsoring a family for a specific activity please let us know. Your participation is greatly appreciated. We are excited about all the plans we have made for the children. We pray for God’s help and guidance as we work together as a team to make this club a success. Thank you for your support, The Leadership Team I have read the above letter and understand that I am required to actively participate in order for my child to be a member of the Decatur Ambassadors Adventurer Club.

Adventurer Conduct and Participation Agreement

1. Adventurers should be on time to all club meetings and events. Chronic tardiness will be taken into account when evaluating an Adventurer's personal performance. 2. Field Uniform (club tee shirt, knee-length shorts or jeans, tennis shoes) will be worn at all club meetings and informal activities and functions unless otherwise specified, including campouts. Open toe shoes are not allowed at club meetings. 3. Complete Class A or B Uniform will be worn at all formal club activities and designated club meetings. Class A uniform consists of: white shirt with all patches and pins, navy blue dress slacks (boys) navy blue jumper (girls), navy blue socks (boys) white socks (girls), black dress shoes (closed toe), sash, scarf, and uniform slide. Class B uniform is all of the above without the sash, scarf and slide. 4. Jewelry: We as members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church believe that the wearing of jewelry and the display of wealth that it implies is inconsistent with the principles of Adventuring. Therefore we request that no visible jewelry be worn to any Adventurer function. This also prevents the loss of valuable items. 5. Adventurers should attempt to participate in all activities for their class level and maintain good conduct. 6. Adventurers will show respect at all times to the Adventurer Staff, their fellow adventurers, as well as all other people. Adventurers are expected to follow directions of Adventurer staff. Adventurers will be a “Servant of God” and a “Friend to man” at all times, whether during club meetings or events at home, church, school or in the community. 7. During club meetings or events Adventurers will stay together with a counselor or instructor. If an Adventurer needs to leave the group area they must have permission from a counselor, sign-out as instructed (if applicable), and travel using the buddy system. 8. On campouts, Adventurers are expected to help out with set up, take down, kitchen patrol or any other necessary duties; we must work as a team. Adventurers should not expect to go home until all equipment is cleaned and put away. 9. Adventurers will abide by the Pathfinder’s Camping Code of taking only pictures/memories and leaving only footprints while camping. Remember that nature is God’s first published book. 10. New Adventurers will be put in class levels according to age and grade level. To join the Adventurer Club, a child must be between Pre-K and 4th grade. If a child is moving to the club at any point during the year, they should bring their records from their previous club. Agreed to by: (Adventurers name, parent's name, and signature)
