Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship

Many of the tests a Royal Ranger will face to become an FCF member will demand a courageous spirit and be a life-changing experience.



Participation in the FCF ministry will achieve five important things for the boys and men: a demonstration of courage and leadership, development of friendships and woodsmanship, and a display of achievement.

FCF accomplishes the following purposes:

To give recognition to boys and men who have shown exceptional interest and outstanding achievement in the Royal Rangers ministry and in Royal Rangers campcraft.

To build a brotherhood of top-notch boys and men who will, over the years, continue to be Royal Rangers ministry and camping enthusiasts.

To emphasize the importance of involvement in the advancement program, development of campcraft skills, and completion of the leadership training programs.

To develop a corps of proven Royal Rangers who will strive to be the very best in Christian example and leadership.

To encourage the boys and men of Royal Rangers to always prefer others above themselves and to let their leadership be by example.

To show a spirit of servanthood, willing to give of time and energy above and beyond what is expected of Royal Rangers.

The FCF Symbol
The blazing campfire is the official symbol of FCF. It symbolizes the spirit of FCF, which is:

Christian love (warmth)

Personal witness (light)

Dedicated service (usefulness)

There are five logs around the fire and they represent things that keep the FCF spirit alive:

Courage

Achievement

Friendship

Leadership

Woodsmanship

The FCF Pledge

"I share with you the warmth and glow of this campfire. These crimson flames are a symbol of our fellowship and adventures in camping.

"I promise to share with you the warmth of Christian friendship and with others the light of my Christian testimony.

"I promise to keep alive the spirit of FCF in my personal life and to observe at all times the principles of Royal Rangers."

National Rendezvous
Every four years, the Royal Rangers hold a National Rendezvous for all members of the Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship. Black-powder shooting, knife and hawk throwing, flint and steel, Seneca runs, outfit judging, recognition of national scouts, and old-fashioned camp cookin' are just a few of the great activities that take place at the Rendezvous.
Always popular is Trader's Row, where our FCF craftsmen display, sell and trade their wares. Skills and outdoor crafts continue throughout the week, and best of all we gather for the great evening Council Fire services. Begin now by making plans to attend.

Steps of Recognition in FCF

Trail of The Grizzly
The "Trail of the Grizzly" is designed to lead boys and leaders along the challenging FCF advancement trail. The purpose of this "Trail" is to prepare boys and leaders to successfully complete each of the FCF advancements by including a unique set of merit award requirements for the "Frontiersmen," "Buckskin," and "Wilderness" steps. Get the details of the Trail of the Grizzly here

FCF accomplishes the following purposes:

1. It teaches young men to research historical truth.
2. It creates interaction with members of FCF.
3. It gives men a chance to pass on skills to young members, teaching boys to sew clothing, etc.
4. It adds meaning to one's historical past as an American.
5. As a result of becoming more interested in the history of Rogers' Rangers, the boy develops a stronger interest in other facets of his life such as church and school.

To develop a corps of elite Royal Rangers who will strive to be the very best in Christian example and leadership.
To encourage the boys and men of Royal Rangers to always prefer others above themselves and to let their leadership be by example.
To show a spirit of servanthood, willing to give of time and energy above and beyond what is expected of Royal Rangers.
