Ad Dare Servire

To Give and to Serve

What is FCF?

 

The Frontiersman Camping Fellowship “FCF” – is a special organization or brotherhood for Royal Rangers boys 11 years old or older & graduates of 5th grade and even Men leaders who qualify in Royal Rangers.

The purpose of FCF is to give recognition for outstanding achievement, build a brotherhood of “top notch” camping enthusiasts; with the emphasis on service; while preserving the primitive skills, like “blacksmithing” “leather craft” and more,  of our forefathers, and to develop a corps of Royal Rangers who will be the very best in Christian example. 

We live by the moto of “Ad Dare Servire” “To give and to serve”. 

The theme of this organization is set in the late 1700’s to late 1800’s Frontiersman days. We offer up a series of challenges for boys and men to engage in, starting with the frontier adventure, then we have the buckskin challenge and finally the wilderness challenge. There is also some of the most challenging merits to learn and complete.
