Our Pioneer organization shall strive to develop in its members their potential for leadership through interaction skills with others and promote service to
the Lord and to the world around them. This will be accomplished through worship, evangelism, education, citizenship and recreational activities, all
centered in God's word and consistent with the doctrine of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod or of a Lutheran Church in doctrinal fellowship with
the WELS.





Pioneers Camping Trip by Matthew Evenson
9 boys, 5 girls, and 6 adults went on our camping trip. The first day we were fishing and swimming at Clear Lake. We saw some shooting stars that night. Barbara (Rider) and James (her fiancee) made a good pancake breakfast, and then they came with us to Ramsey Park, Upper Souix Agency State Park, and the indoor pool in Granite Falls - we stayed there for 3 hours! We had another campfire, and we went in the tipis while it was raining. We saw lots of tractors and other stuff at the Minnesota Farm Machinery Museum in Hanley Falls, too.

Pioneers
by Ruth Rider
My uncle, Martin Jaus, told us a lot about bow and
arrows. If you have a certain kind of bow and arrow,
you have to shoot it by the tips of your fingers. He told
us stories and showed us pictures about hunting for
deer. Since the arrows are so fast and the tips are so
sharp, they usually go right through the deer bones.
The deer dies instantly most of the time. He also goes
bowfishing using a weighted arrow with a string and
reel.
Thanks to everyone who let us borrow bows and
arrows. Jim Evenson, Mike Rider, Barbara Rider,
James Miller, and Pastor Muske came to help us
practice archery. The Niebuhrs reviewed thunderstorm
safety with us. It's good to have other people helping us
do stuff a little. Maybe some more will help out
sometime. The younger kids did an obstacle course as
fast as they could. They played some water games too.
