Pathfinder Bible Experience – PBE

The Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) is an extra-curricular program that introduces Pathfinders to Bible study through trivia-style testing.

Each year, a book or books (alternating Old Testament and New Testament) are assigned for study and memorizing. Pathfinders ( teams of six club members) are tested in three different levels of testing to advance on to the final round of testing along with other teams from the North American Division. While PBE may be perceived as a competition, Pathfinders are actually challenging themselves more than they are competing against other teams or clubs because everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve a first-place position at every level.
