How to help or volunteer

Parents who volunteer and help out in Pathfinders enjoy a rewarding experience as they watch their own children grow and learn, as well as develop their own friendships with other parents and families. These incidental and simple interactions are proven to be mini-blessings that fill our lives.

There are many ways to help out, we are sure there's something that will be enjoyable at a time that suits you.  Here are some ways you can help out;

• In the Kitchen - Fun and easy, preparation of food and setting up and cleaning up.  Highly social and there is always someone around who knows what needs to be done.  

• Teaching the Pathfinders a skill so they can get an honour - There are honours on many topics, if you have a particular interest or passion you'd like to share, get in touch with your level leader and let them know.  

• Helping at a Camp - Specific tasks vary, contact Level leader and they will advise how you can help out.  All parent helpers must have completed their Working with Children Check.

• Transport - children and/or equipment - If you are unable to help in any other way, the best way to do your part is ensuring your children are dropped off and picked up. We don't have the volunteer capacity to run a door-to-door transport service as all Club leaders are actively involved in preparing and coordinating each event, often with cars full of equipment and supplies for camp. From time to time the Club will communicate about various activities where extra transport assistance is needed, please respond to the emails.

• Equipment care and stocktaking - Contact our Equipment Manager, at a Pathfinder hall meeting and they can advise how you can assist.

• Fund Raising Activities - Specific tasks vary and will be communicated, key fundraisers are the car wash and Food Stall at SAN Carols at Christmas
