Brent Learned – Loveland, Colorado … Rocky Mountain Conference’s (RMC) annual Pathfinder Fair event was held at Campion Academy in Loveland, Colorado, May 17. Over 400 Pathfinder team and staff members converged to experience spiritual revival and display what they have learned over the past year in their local clubs.

When the clubs arrived, they set up their booths in the gym displaying their achievements for the year to be judged and scored. Next, Pathfinder teams marched around the field for the annual parade led by the drum corps and flags. When the parade ended, the teen reps (Adres Tapia, Kendy Vasquez, Edwin Garcia) lead the group in the pledge of allegiance, Pathfinder song, pledge, and law.

RMC Club ministries director Brent Learned shared the worship thought emphasizing Pathfinder’s annual theme of “Know Jesus.” This starts from our metamorphosis from the flesh and spiritual death to our spiritual rebirth and reception of the Holy Spirit where we can begin growing in Jesus and “bear much fruit” (John 15:1-11).

Bryan L., Aurora Hispanic Las Aguilas Pathfinder Club team member, said “My experience of the fair was really fun! I feel like it brought me closer to God hanging around with everyone. It was fun doing the activities, and I think that everyone should join Pathfinders and experience these events. I would recommend it for everyone.”

Before breaking for lunch, clubs demonstrated their drilling and marching abilities by friendly competing against one another to execute coordinated maneuvers. Clubs then sold different kinds of food as a fundraiser for their club. After lunch, clubs rotated through a variety of activity stations where they learned how to work as a team and follow Jesus.

The 2026 RMC Pathfinder Fair ended with an exciting pine car derby race for all the Pathfinders club members who had earned the pine car derby honor and brought their cars followed by the award ceremony. RMC co-Pathfinder coordinators, Jodi Gage and David Hopkins, presented the clubs and individual Pathfinder team members with ribbons and trophies for their achievements throughout the year and during the event.

Learned remarked, “I am proud to be part of such a fantastic team of dedicated Adventurer and Pathfinder council members, club directors, and leaders who work tirelessly to further our youth department mission statement ‘making it easy for kids to know God’ by organizing and hosting events like this, and, most importantly, by continually mentoring, supporting, and encouraging our Pathfinders across the Rocky Mountain Conference.”
