Who are the Adventurers?
It was in 1972 that the Seventh-day Adventist Church first attempted to create a specific program for children under the age of ten. This happened in Washington (USA), under the direction of Carolee Riegel.
In 1975, another Association (that of the Northeast - USA) carried out a program focused on this special group and, five years later, several Associations were already following these pioneering examples. The idea gained momentum and was copied in many other places.
In 1988, the North American Division invited interested Conferences and people specialized in children to study the officialization of the Adventurers Club. (In some locations this name was already used).
A commission met, a year later (1989) to update the curriculum, the Honors and establish rules for the organization and functioning of the Club. Leaders of the Children's Sabbath School, educators, coordinators of the Ministry of Children (Unions and Conferences), and other specialists in family and early childhood education participated in this work.
In the same year (1989), the General Association made the Adventurer Classes official (Laborer Bees, Luminaries, Builders and Helping Hands), confirming the work done by Teresa Reeve. She wrote the Adventurers' curriculum with the objective of facilitating the child to share his faith, to prepare for this life and for eternal life?.
In 1990, the Adventurers Club pilot plan was initiated in the United States, in the North American Division.
In 1991, the General Conference authorized it, as a worldwide program, establishing its objectives, curriculum, flag, uniform and ideals.
This is the portion of the story that others have written.
A part, not yet narrated, of this story is going to happen (or is already happening) there, in your local church - in fact, these will be the most relevant chapters of it, from your point of view and your children's point of view.
