 ===Pledge===
-A good time to address this requirement is just before the Induction Ceremony.  At this time, the Companion class should re-study the pledge and law, and dive deeper into its meaning.  Then during the Induction, those Companions who were inducted during the previous year can be assigned to explain a point of the pledge and law to the new inductees.

-As counselor, it may fall to you to assign a point of the Pledge and Law for explanation by one of the Companions.  This can be an opportunity to really reach your Companions if you make these assignments thoughtfully.  If possible, assign a point of the Pledge or Law to a child you feel exemplifies that point, and let the child know why he or she was chosen to explain that point.  This will make the child feel that he or she has an important part to play in the Induction service, and the delivery of that explanation will be more heartfelt and effective.  This offers the greatest chance for affecting both the Inductee as well as the Pathfinders who explain the Pledge and Law.

-;I will be pure: The Pathfinder will avoid those things which lead into temptation, and seek to fill himself with heavenly thoughts rather than worldly pleasures (see  {{Bible link|Philippians 4:8}}).  This means the Pathfinder will avoid such things as dirty jokes, pornography, lewd or crude entertainment, and gossip.  Being pure is the same thing as being holy - set aside for a special purpose.  The Sabbath is holy because it has been set aside as a special day for us to spend with our Creator.  We do not pollute the Sabbath with thoughts of work and toil.  Samuel was set aside as pure from before his birth.  As a Nazarite, he did not pollute his life with wine (or any grape products).  A Pathfinder will set himself aside for the Lord and not pollute his life with impure things.

-;I will be kind: The Pathfinder will place the needs of others above the needs of the self.  This means holding doors open for others, allowing others to go first in line, taking the smallest cookie, etc.  It means relieving the suffering of others, including not only people, but animals as well.  It means making friends with new kids and making them feel welcome and part of the group.

-;I will be true: Being true means "practicing what you preach."  That means that our actions are not in contradictions with our professed ideals.  We do what we say.  This was the charge Jesus laid against the Pharisees.  They would say one thing, but do something else.

To be a servant of God means setting aside one's own will and seeking the will of God.  When people think they are serving themselves, they are really serving Satan.

-;I will be a friend to man: The Pathfinder will seek to help others.  A properly-functioning Pathfinder Club will engage in community service on a regular basis.  The purpose of this community service is to help our fellow men.  The service is not limited to the members of the Pathfinder Club or even to the members of the church.  It is to serve the community outside the church.
