Greetings Royal Ranger Leaders (and FCF Candidates),

The 2025 Spring Trace will soon be upon us (May 16-18) and is once more open to all Royal Rangers, regardless of FCF status. This will give everyone a chance 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
In keeping with our recent objective to better acquaint ourselves with the historical period we are endeavoring to recreate, namely the French and Indian War (1754 – 1763), we will continue featuring historical events that occurred in New York State. Events that helped shape our continent. The 2025 Spring Trace will see us focusing on the Battle of Fort Carillon (1758) which you may know better as Fort Ticonderoga.
Special note to anyone looking to either join FCF or advance:
- Frontiersmen Adventure and Buckskin Challenge will both be offered
- Wilderness will be offered at the Territorial Rendezvous Oct 16-18, 2025, at Camp Berry 3495 Middle Rd, Honey Grove, PA 17035..
Our guest speaker for the weekend is Richard “Jacob’s Staff” Franco. Well known to many of us it will be a pleasure to have him “share the warmth and glow” of our campfires once more.
This year we will be registering on-line with the registration link included in the event packet..
We will be holding a Chapter Scout competition and testing at the Trace. See page 3 of the Event Packet for details.
