Words to Live By from My Childhood


When I was growing up, I was part of a wonderful group called Pathfinders! I remember when we opened our meetings each Wednesday night, we would repeat the Pathfinder Pledge and Law. These words still offer such meaningful guidelines for our lives today, that I just had to share them here.

By the grace of God, I will be pure, and kind, and true. I will keep the Pathfinder Law. I will be a servant of God and a friend to man.

The Pathfinder Law is for me to:
Keep the morning watch
Do my honest part
Care for my body,
Keep a level eye
Be courteous and obedient
Walk softly in the sanctuary,
Keep a song in my heart,
Go on God's errand.

The Pathfinder Pledge:

By the grace of God
I will be pure
I will be kind
I will be true.
I will keep the Pathfinder Law.
I will be a servant to God
I will be a friend to man.
