The 9th Vancouver Pathfinders are seeking 2-3 new Leaders who want to work with youth in the East Vancouver area. Pathfinders is a fun and informal group for youth on topics like leadership, outdoor adventures, citizenship, and community service. 

Commitment

• Weekly meetings: Wednesdays 6:45-8:30pm (St. Thomas Anglican Church in Vancouver)
• Weekly prep work to prepare for meetings (time commitment varies)
• Three planning meetings ~ 2 hours each
• Occasional weekend camps and outings
• We’re looking for people who can commit to at least one year (Sept 2025-June 2026), but you’re welcome to start sooner!

Qualifications

• Identify as a woman
• 19 years or older
• Can pass a police record check

No experience with Girl Guides is necessary. Training and coaching is provided.

Apologies but we will need to cancel this week’s Pathfinder meeting. We will resume our regular meetings next week. 

The good news is that we have confirmed a date for our spring camp. We will be heading to Camp Olave on Saturday, May 17 to Monday, May 19 and staying at Ah Ah Wah Kie. Please note that this is the long weekend, there was not a lot of availability for sites in the spring and our choice was limited. Camping on the long weekend does let us leave on Saturday morning and get into camp during the daylight hours instead of trying to rush to the ferry after work/school on Friday. 

We are very excited about this. Stay tuned for more information and forms about camp in the weeks to come.

Until next week,

Amanda, Christa, Tasha 

Pathfinders starts this week on Wednesday, January 8th at our regular time and regular location. 

This week we will be discussing equity and inclusion. We will reflect on the year we had and make some plans for the year to come.

Third year Pathfinders will sign up for a date for the meeting they are going to lead. Instructions for Pathfinder-Led Meetings have been shared by email.
