The red color on the emblem represents the blood of Jesus Christ and how Pathfinders believe that he gave his life as salvation from sin. The white color represents purity, and how the objective of Pathfinders is to have the purity and righteousness of Jesus Christ in their lives. The blue color represents loyalty and how one of the objectives of the club is to be loyal to God, their parents, and their church. The gold color represents excellence and how it is a standard of measurement. The Pathfinder club has high standards to help build a strong character for the kingdom of heaven. The 3 sides of the emblem represent completeness. Completeness of the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It also represents the tripod of education: Mental (as done through Honors and Crafts), Physical (as done through work bees and campouts), and Spiritual (as done in witnessing and missionary activities). The shield represents protection. In the Bible, God is often called the shield of His people. The sword represents the Bible. They are in spiritual warfare against sin; their weapon is the Bible. (Ephesians 6)
