TRUTH AND TRAINING OVERVIEW



T&T BOOKS

  • Introduction/Start Zone Entrance Booklet
    Similar to our Sparks Gate Booklet, the Start Zone Entrance Booklet is the first and only (introduction)
    booklet received in T&T.
  • Handbooks/Reviews
    The T&T program has four handbooks called The Ultimate Adventure Series. Clubbers are taught that
    the “ultimate adventure” is a Christian's relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The individual books
    are titled Book One, Book Two, Book Three, and Book Four.  Book One and Book Two are each
    divided into eight Discoveries. Book Three and Book Four are each divided into eight Challenges.
    Each Discovery or Challenge has seven sections, adding up to 56 sections in each of the handbooks.

All sections in the T&T handbooks should be passed in order. There are just two exceptions. One is
bringing friends to club. The other is the missionary interview. Clubbers can continue working through their
books even if these two sections are not completed. Sections may be signed, but an achievement seal
cannot be awarded until all sections in that Discovery or Challenge are completed.

  • THIRD GRADE (1st Year of T&T) – START ZONE ENTRANCE BOOKLET, THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE
    BOOK ONE & REVIEW TEST *
  • FOURTH GRADE (Second Year of T&T) - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BOOK TWO & REVIEW TEST *
  • FIFTH GRADE (Third Year of T&T) - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BOOK THREE & REVIEW TEST *
  • SIXTH GRADE (Fourth Year of T&T) - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BOOK FOUR & REVIEW TEST*

Regardless of the age or grade of the child, each clubber will start in the Ultimate Adventure Book 1.
Each Handbook consists of:

SECTION                                                      AWARD
DISCOVERIES/CHALLENGES                ACHIEVEMENT SEALS
HANDBOOK REVIEW TEST *                   REVIEW CERTIFICATE AND PIN


EXTRA CREDIT - SILVER and GOLD SEALS
At the end of each Discovery or Challenge there are “Silver” and “Gold” extra-credit sections. A clubber must
complete ALL of the Silver or Gold sections to receive a Silver Seal or Gold Seal at the end of the year
.
Beginning in the Fall of 2007, AWANA has added pins that are worn on the clubbers uniform throughout T&T.  
Silver and Gold sections may be done in any order. However, a Silver Seal must be earned before a Gold
Seal.

Silver and Gold sections can be quite difficult. Here are some examples:

•        Write down 10 instructions received throughout the day, and then find 10 instructions God gives in His
Word.
•        Read and report on a missionary biography.
•        Make five awesome invitations to AWANA, and then hand them out to friends.
•        Write a song or poem of praise to God.
•        Make up a game to help you and others learn the books of the Bible.
•        Make a list of 20 different names found in the Bible for the Lord Jesus.
•        Learn how to say John 3:16 in another language.

REVIEW

Review is central to the T&T program. While the word “review” may not be used, the concept is integrated
throughout the handbooks. If you read through an entire handbook, the clubbers are constantly asked to give
the questions, answers, and backup verses in some form. This happens in the regular sections and in the
Silver and Gold sections. Also, the first section of Book Two is a review of Book One.  In addition, certificates
and pins are available for clubbers who can recite four questions, eight answers for each question and a
backup verse for each answer. That’s a total book review in one sitting! Thirty-two review verses!

T&T is a self-paced program.  To complete a handbook in one year, it is recommended that a clubber
complete 2 sections at a minimum each week.   

AWARDS

When a clubber has completed the requirements to earn an Award, the Award will be issued to them during
the Award Ceremony of Council Time. AN AWARD WILL NOT BE ISSUED IF THE CLUBBER DOES NOT
WEAR THEIR UNIFORM!
