Sirius Pathfinders

The name of our club was inspired by God's creation. God created the star Sirius, known as the brightest star in the night sky, and it is said to be 22 times more luminous than the Sun.

As a club, we aspire to let our light shine brightly, bringing hope and comfort to those around us. Our mission is to guide youth in their spiritual growth, helping them understand who God is and how to be good stewards of the gifts He has given them. We encourage them to use their talents for good, to develop leadership skills, and to foster strong friendships through teamwork. In addition, we offer opportunities for outdoor recreation, camping, arts and crafts, and physical challenges, all while emphasising the importance of community service and learning practical skills like winter survival.
