Pathfinders to Oshkosh

Today Pathfinder clubs around the world are walking, boarding cars, boats, busses, jets, and probably in some cases riding burros, all heading toward Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I believe about 35,000 children and adult helpers attended the international camporee there in 2004. Yes, that's THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND lively people camping together! For this camporee some clubs have had difficulty obtaining visas, and doubtless nearly all are impacted by the economy, so the numbers may be smaller -- or not. Traditionally, they're a determined lot and their churches stand behind their young members. Join me today in prayer for this immense group now converging on Oshkosh.
