Ceremonies
Family Blessing
To encourage and uplift the families of your Adventurer
Club, try this special service. It could take the place of induction, or it
could be used during a parent meeting or Adventurer Sabbath during the year.
The Adventurer Blessing Service is a special ceremony which gives parents the
opportunity to bless their children by affirming to them their value in the
eyes of their parents and in the eyes of God. During this service, parents
recommit themselves to stand by children in good times and in bad times, and to
always seek to model for their children the great and unfailing love of God.
Induction Service
The Induction is a special Adventurer meeting during which
club members and their parents are formally dedicated to the Lord. Each child
is to have a part in the service, although not all may have speaking parts.
Family members and other interested people are invited to attend.
An Induction Service is usually held within two months from the time your club has started. If this is a first-year club, then all the Adventurers and staff are inducted into the club. If it is an established club, then just the new Adventurers and staff are inducted. Adventurers like pageantry, so make it as impressive as possible. Keep the program short. At this age, Adventurers have a short attention span and get restless quickly, and we want them to understand the meaning of the program.
Encourage your Adventurers to wear full dress uniform. Before the ceremony begins, present the new Adventurers with a scarf, slide and sash.

Investiture
The Investiture service is a time at which the children are
given the Adventurer awards and Adventurer Class insignia they have earned
during the year. It is vitally important that this service be conducted in a
dignified manner and in a way that will stir in every heart a desire to do more
for the encouragement and salvation of our boys and girls.
