SASDAC Pathfinders pitch a tent to break a world record

Wanting to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest setup of a four-person tent at the International Camporee in Gillette, Wyo., this summer, members of the Potomac Conference Southern Asian church’s (SASDAC) Sentinels Pathfinder Club in Silver Spring, Md., were disappointed when the planned competition didn’t take place.

In August, some 60,000 Pathfinders and staff from around the world, including 6,689 registered campers from the Columbia Union Conference, descended on the CAM-PLEX campus in Gillette, Wyo., for the 2024 International Pathfinder Camporee.

With another potential strong storm forecasted to come through Gillette, Wy., tomorrow, International Camporee leaders had to make the hard logistical decision to cancel the Sabbath morning and Saturday evening programs previously scheduled to conclude the event. “Every effort is being made to keep Pathfinders safe during the next few days,” say event leaders.
