In an effort to encourage young people to become more involved in their own communities around the world, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) unveiled a new and updated set of ADRA Pathfinder honours at the International Pathfinder Camporee, held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, US, from August 11 to 15.

The ADRA Pathfinder honours encompass a range of topics that emphasise ADRA's mission of service and relief work. To earn the ADRA Master honour, candidates must first complete six of the nine ADRA honours, as well as one in the categories of Cultural Diversity, Cultural Heritage, Language Study, Temperance or Junior Witness.

The ADRA Pathfinder honours were created in partnership with the Adventist World Church's Youth Ministries department, and aim to encourage young people to be leaders in their communities and make a difference in the world.

"Youth Ministries considers it a privilege to work with ADRA to provide these honours," says Baraka Muganda, director of the Adventist World Church's Youth Ministries.
