The girls have been on their club’s Bible
Achievement Team for five years, have
placed at the top level at the
(inter)Nationals in Michigan twice, and in
2010 plan to make it thrice in a row.
Every five years Pathfinder clubs
worldwide meet at a camporee. Nikkory
attended it in 2009 in OshKosh,
Wisconsin. It was hard to tell who was
more excited -- Nikkory or Alan...

Trading club, conference, and union pins at
Pathfinder events such as the Courage to Stand
International Camporee, is a big deal. Trading
for certain pins is highly competitive. My rental
daughter, Catherine, hurt her ankle and had to
be carried, or towed in a wagon around the
camporee site. Her sympathy factor was huge
and she had an easy time trading for pins she
wanted. My long-lost-son, Mason, who got no
such sympathy called out “Can
someone break my leg, please?!”
Alan’s little company supplied
quite a few of the pins traded in
OshKosh. We do embroidered
patches, too. He’s
finally letting me do the
website and patch/pin design
work -- none of which were in
time for OshKosh.
