Great Leadership	FCF Members 2026

Event really started with a handful going up Thursday and setting up camp. Our beloved care taker Harold Hawk had the Pow Wow Campground grass cut and the water and electricity on and working in great shape. Thanks so much Harold!

Mark Jones - Grin - our Company Clerk collected Adult screening forms and registrations and applications. Ole Timers were $25.00 each and the young bucks were $10.00 each and the new Applicants paid a one time $30.00 fee.

Ralph Davis - Tall Oak -did a great job as our Chapter President proceeding over the event and with the great coordination and a dedicated staff the team put on a wonderful Spring Outing and Frontier Adventure. Craig Kelley - Road Kill- was our Bourgious (pronounced bushwaah) he and Jackson Bell -Funny Foot- did a great job getting our FCF Candidates around to all the teaching and evaluations.

District Director John Hicks - Southpaw- worked hard to keep it all fun and on point. .

Weston Bell - Two Tales- our SW Div. FCF Scout covered for our District Scout who is waste deep into working his new job as a landscaper. Two Tales did a really good job keeping our council fires top notch and getting the word out on event time tables and helping out as good scouts do. As these boys grow into adult hood the Rangers and the FCF have had a major part in growing them as a Life Long Servant Leader. This whole thing is about Jesus and our boys and the fellowship there in. Thanks each of you for giving of your heart to this ministry.

Several of the members specialize in a trading post type of store. Their mercantile adds so much to the atmosphere of the event.

All kinds frontiersman skills were taught, exercised and then tested. The Applicants went through various courses. Trappers Brigade, Flint n Steel, Knife and Hawk, Camp Safety, Outfits, Shelters and a lot more hands on camp craft skills that EVERY PERSON should get a chance to do. We just had a great time. Many campfires around camp with all kinds of cooking and sharing and encouraging one another. Good stuff happens around these campfires.

Our Competitions for Spring Outing had our Young Bucks earning lots of really nice prizes. Along with the presentations to the new members many had arm loads of FCF gear!

Bob Triphahn -Two Forks- held the round robin a favorite time for young and ole timers to embellish a trading item with a TALL TALES to enhance the trading event with laughter and fun!

Sunday we had 32 at Sunday School Service. Many of the Buckskin and Ole Timers were gifted with a Chapter Checker Set that had many of our Members and their Totems on them. Doug Laut - Hoot- shared and then we visited and broke camp and headed home.
