Step
One
Counsel with the conference Adventurer Specialist or Children's Ministries
Director. That individual is responsible for guiding all clubs in the
conference.
Step
Two
Present the plan to the church board. plans should be submitted to the
church board by a local church member for authorization to organize an
Adventurer Club, and the conference Adventurer specialist should be invited.
It is important that parents of Adventurer-age children support the plan
to organize a club.
Step
Three
Inform the congregation during the worship service. A conference Adventurer
person qualified by experience to speak in behalf of the Adventurer Club
and the needs of children should make a presentation to the entire church
preferably during the worship hour.
Step
Four
Call a special organizational meeting. Invite all Master Guides,
parents in the appropriate Sabbath School divisions, and others interested
in working with children. An appeal should be made for volunteers to help
in the Adventurer Club, and an informal questionnaire could be circulated.
Step
Five
Teach the basics of Adventuring. Request that the conference Adventurer
specialist teach a staff training course to all club leadership personnel.
Step
Six
Elect director and associate directors. The church board should become
familiar with those who are best qualified to lead out in the Adventurer
Club and recommend to the church the club officers as needed: director,
associate directors, and counselors.
Step
Seven
The Adventurer Club Executive Committee. The group sets major policies
for the operation, goals, and objectives of the club, and selects counselors
and instructors. Membership should include the Adventurer Club leadership,
pastor, Primary Sabbath School leader, church school teacher(s), and an
Adventurer mother and father. The Adventurer director is chairperson.
