Safari Club Foundation’s Pathfinder Award
A Pathfinder is “one that finds a way or finds a new route.”
SCI Foundation Pathfinders are people who are faced with challenges in life that causes them to find new ways to live and to overcome the challenge of being engaged in outdoor activities. These hunters also give of their time to help their community and promote hunting for other disabled hunters.
The SCI Foundation Pathfinder program provides funding to SCI Chapters in support of their activities that engage disabled, terminally ill, wounded military and veterans who are hunters into the outdoors. Often, the reintroduction to nature and hunting helps these hunters to find their way to adapt to their life changes and challenges and helping others along the way.
Every year, the SCI Foundation selects up to two accomplished disabled hunters who have overcome great odds to get back into the outdoors and who also have helped others do the same thing. This is the most prestigious honor for challenged sportsmen & women. The award is presented at their annual convention in Nevada and every Pathfinder winner gets to go on a 10-day African safari.
