Greetings Royal Ranger Leaders (and FCF Candidates),
The 2026 Fall Trace will soon be upon us (Oct 2 – 4). As is our tradition, the Fall Trace is only open to current FCF members and those wishing to join as Frontiersmen Candidates. This will give our members a chance to compete in our traditional frontier skills and to experience what life was like on the New York frontier when we were still loyal subjects of King George III, a “living history” experience.
We are starting a new series to highlight the threefold purpose of FCF which is to
1. Inspire brotherhood among our members
2. Promote personal development through advancement and training
3. Provide valuable service to Royal Rangers and beyond
• Frontiersmen Adventure, Buckskin Challenge and Wilderness testing will all be offered.
• Wilderness candidates were recruited at Pow Wow. If you know of others who would like to join this Fall’s class, please contact our Wilderness Rep, Kevin “Wolfjaw” Cudney, ASAP. He can be reached at cudman68@hotmail.com.
Our guest speaker for the weekend is Rory “Jonathan Parker” Dudley, pastor at Greene Assemble of God church and our NYMN District Royal Rangers Coordinator.
There is an on-line registration link included in the event packet.
Page 3 of the Trace packet includes a google sheets link for members to volunteer.
Please save-the-date and distribute the attached flyer to start promoting the event once your Royal Rangers season begins.
I’m looking forward to seeing and competing with you once again.
