Adventist Risk Management, Inc. (ARM) has launched a new Pathfinders Honor called “Spy Danger.” ARM leaders say youth will learn to apply critical thinking to assess situations, make good choices, and prevent unnecessary dangers.
Created by ARM Account Executive Sandra Aguiar and approved by the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference Youth Department, the honor is designed to help youth build a foundational knowledge of risk management. Pathfinders will gain knowledge to stay safe in today’s ever-changing world, leaders said.
Through the honor, youth will recognize principles of risk management, identify related Bible stories, assess situations, weigh options, and make safe choices.
“Spy Danger is another great tool to train our young people to bless one another through protection and care,” said ARM President James Winegardner. “They will be trained to watch out for Jesus’ little lambs even while lambs themselves.”
