09-15-2024 Daniel Boone Chapter FCF Fall Trace at Camp Millhouser.
Weather was perfect. Cloudy most of the time with a light shower a few
times. Temps were mid 80 during the day and at night in the 60's. The 2
showers were very light .
We had 46 in attendance. 11 young bucks. 2 new Buckskin Members. Ole
Timers: John Davis -River Rock and Ron Taylor - Eagle Eyes .
This year the ole timers gave from their hearts and picked up a 25 dollar
event fee so the young bucks could come at only 10 dollars each. Our event
patches of OUR log cabin were given out. Our Buckskin patches are on
order. Will get them to you as soon as we see face to face again.
Great
services. Great worship and fellowship. NW Division did a great
job hosting this event. Thank you Twiggy and crew for a fun weekend!
Our Business meeting was conducted by our Chapter President Ralph Davis,
Tall Oak on Saturday morning and it was discussed and voted on by the FCF
Membership to take the Mission Offering that was collected at this event of
$ 2,855.00 and give half to David Julian, So. MO missionary in the amount
of $1427.50 and the other half went to Camp Millhouser Campground projects.
Frank Reed conducted the Buckskin testing with our 2 candidates. Many have
had a part in this and along with assisting men and boys doing these very
same skills countless of times. I praise God for you! Each of doing what
God has called us to do is true discipleship in practice.
