The Pathfinder Club is a worldwide program organized and directed by the Youth Department of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It offers a wide range of learning experiences for young people 10 to 15 years of age, and is operated by the local Seventh-day Adventist church under the direction and control of the local conference youth director. Each Pathfinder Club is administered by a club director, deputy directors, counselors, instructors, chaplain, secretary, and treasurer.

The purpose of the Pathfinder Club is to introduce young people to Jesus Christ. The program will help them develop body, mind and spirit. With these skills, our young people are able to carry on the work of the church and bring others to the feet of Jesus.

The purpose of the Royal Knights Pathfinder Club of United African SDA Church is to lead young people into a redemptive relationship with Jesus, to build them into responsible and mature individuals, and to involve them in active and selfless service. The club encourages the youth to participate in all aspects of church life.

There is a specially designed full-dress uniform and also a field uniform. The Pathfinder Club has a Pledge and Law, highlighting the spiritual basis on which the club is built. The Royal Knights Pathfinder Club operates on a 9-month calendar year, with a weekly program of at least 1½, 2-, or 3-hours’ duration. Within this 1½, 2-, or 3-hour period, the Pathfinders perform drill and marching, as well as taking part in devotional activities, Bible Experience (Bowl) and class work. There are six classes, with given names, which begin at 10 years of age and conclude at 15 years. Each class is represented by a chosen color as listed.
