Pathfinder Bible Experience
The Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) is the official North American Division Pathfinder Bible study programme and was officially adopted by the Trans-European Division in 2019. Each year, teams of six club members study books of the Bible (alternating Old Testament and New Testament), learning large portions of God’s word and participating in various levels of testing.

What is PBE ?
The simple concept is a quiz-based Bible study programme for children aged 10 to 15. Originating in North America, PBE is facilitated through Pathfinder clubs. It was embraced by the British Union Conference (BUC) and then introduced to other Pathfinders in the Trans-European Division.
Division Level Testing in TED
In 2021, the first ever Division final was introduced and had to happen via zoom due to travel restrictions at the time. In 2022 teams met for the final in Belfast, Northern Ireland, followed by the final in Athens, Greece in 2023; Scheidam, The Netherlands in 2024, Budapest, Hungary in 2025, and most recently in Katowice, Poland in 2026.
Since 2023 we have been joined by teams from Romania (EUD), Ukraine (GC) and Kenya (East-Central Africa Division). For 2026 we’ve already had contact with teams interested in joining us from NAD
