Explorer Class Presents Ananias and Sapphira

The Explorer class (Eliana, Eric, Erin, Han and Vanessa) led the opening exercises at the Feb. 24 meeting, presenting a modern rendition of the story of Ananias and Sapphira from the book of Acts. The SAIL Pathfinders this year have been working on several plays as part of the Christian Drama honor, presenting before the club, the church, and at the Camporee. We are looking forward to the Friend and Companion class leading the meeting in March.

Austin Area Honor Fair

On February 21 SAIL Pathfinders attended the Austin Area Honor Fair, one of several new sub-regional events for Pathfinders around the capital city. SAIL staff taught knot tying, airplane modeling and basic rescue, with other clubs offering a variety of honors including soccer, small engine repair, sign language, Christian storytelling, electricity, computers and others. The rain cleared up just in time for the honor fair, and we had beautiful 70 degree weather (even if it snowed two days later). We are looking forward to the Pinewood Derby in San Antonio February 28.

Bible Achievement Team Takes Second Place

Congratulations to the SAIL Bible Achievement Team, which gained a second place award at the Central Texas Bible Achievement competition in San Antonio Feb. 6. Rumor has it some of them are already planning for next year's competition. To see the complete standings from the regional competition, go to the Central Texas Pathfinders page.

Central texas Honor Fair and Bible Achievement Update

We headed down to San Antonio for the Central Texas Honor Fair January 24. John taught the Brains and Behavior honor, Connie taught Christian Citizenship, Rodger taught Bones, Muscles and Movement, and Ray was the last minute stand-in to teach Basketball, with the assistance of a few of the SAIL Pathfinders. Club members worked on several honors, ranging from Drilling and Marching to Environmental Conservation, Scrap Booking, String Art, Lettering and Poster Making, Light Houses, and Edible Wild Plants, among others. We will have another opportunity to work with other clubs on various honors at the Austin Area Honor Fair February 21. The Pathfinders have also been working on their model rockets at our regular club meetings, and this spring we will get out and launch them.

We wish our Bible Achievement Team all the best for their area competition February 6. They did well at the practice round January 23, and met again January 30 for lasagna, eclairs and a little more Jeremiah.
