Statement of Integrity (For everyone participating or visiting the ABE & PBE events)
TIPS AND NOTES TO CONSIDER BEFORE REGISTRATION:
1. Use the study material for Devotionals when you meet for Club.
2. Adventurers who take part still need to be 9 years old OR still actively enrolled in Adventurers by the time of the Division Test Level (11 April 2026). Please consider carefully. Unfortunately, to be fair to other Adventurers taking part, children who do not meet the age criteria will be refused participation.
3. Pathfinder participants must be Pathfinder age between 10 and 18 by 31 December 2024. Teams can include TLTs. If the team include TLTs or Pathfinders, they are eligible to participate on a PBE Team as long as they are a duly inducted Pathfinder member for that club. However, the Pathfinder is no longer eligible if they turn 19 on or after January 1 of the testing year, which is 2025.
4. Team Requirements
Teams must comprise no more than 6 participants, and a 7th Alternate/Reserve member.
Teams are made up of two to six Pathfinders from a single club. Clubs may have multiple teams participate, so long as each team has at least four unique Pathfinders on each team. However, teams should be as complete as possible. For example, a club would not be allowed to field three teams of four participants, but they could field two teams of six participants from that club.
5. In certain instances where a club has a small number of eligible Pathfinder team members, they may join with another Pathfinder club in a similar situation, within the Conference, and form a participating PBE team.
6. If you are considering joining the TED or NAD levels, plan financially and strategically AS IF YOU ARE GOING to NAD or TED, e.g.
Budget effectively and discuss with parents immediately about the costs for the trip, so they can be prepared. Especially if you are planning a sightseeing leg included in the trip.
Consider the necessary Visa and Passport requirements for each team member at registration, and not after you have qualified for the Union Level.
Search and book for flights immediately. Consider paying a few pounds extra and booking flights that can be cancelled at the last minute, should your team not make it to the Division Level.
Raise funds, and consider sponsors from the start of your planning, and not after you qualify for Division Level.
Place those members who may not have visa issues in a team together, so that if they qualify, you will travel with minimal issues and stress. This will minimise disappointments at the last minute.
REMEMBER!!!!
We need the Registration Form, Video & Photography Consent and Statement of Integrity Forms completed anytime before 07 December 2025. We count on the cooperation of all to make it a reality.
Please contact the office for any questions or queries.
