Camp setup is allowed on Wednesday only except by special permission of the FCF Territorial Rep. Wednesday setup will allow Thursday to be a full day of Rendezvous. We want to emphasize primitive frontier camping. No visible plastics/modern stuff. Hide your coolers and things or cover them with hides or blankets.
Selling and Trading - Those interested in setting up a tent or selling from a blanket in a central location are welcome to do so. Or you can sell/trade from your lodge. This will all be done informally. Everyone will be asked to donate an item for the missions auction as they are led. Remember, there are likely many new members with an interest in bas ic FCF paraphernalia. Young bucks just getting started come expecting. Old timers like quality things, too.
SCOUT SELECTIONS - National and Territorial scouts will be selected. Each Chapter is responsible to submit the applications for their Chapter's Scou t and As s i s t an t Scou t by S e p t e m b e r 1 . U s e t h e S c o u t Nominating Form in the current

Other Events - There will be other contests, planned and spontaneous. Chapters can sponsor special events or make challenges. Just clear it through the Territorial Rep. on site. There’ll be plenty of chances to show off shooting skills. Bring plenty of lead and powder.
Blackpowder – Shooter’s cards are required for all shooting. Only flintlocks or percussion muzzle loading single shot long guns with open sights allowed. No handguns or modern guns should be brought to camp. There will be a pole shoot for chapter teams (cut ‘er down man).
Archery – Use long bows, self bows, recurves, anything but compounds. Use wooden arrows with field points. Finger release only; no sights. Primitive bows will be graded higher. You may be able to borrow one.
Food and Fellowship – We’ll all eat together Friday evening for a dessert potluck before the evening service. This is the time to bring something special to share with old friends and maybe make some new ones. Cook up what yer proud of !
MISSION AUCTION - Everyone is encouraged to bring items for the FCF mission fundraiser auction. We’ll have a special project identified for this benefit.
Blacksmithing – Plans are to have a supervised forge area to give young bucks and old timers a chance to see and do some iron work. Any smithy’s who want to bring a portable forge and blacksmith coal, you are welcome to demonstrate your trade and teach a young buck.
Firewood/Water - Available courtesy of the Davy Crocket Chapter at designated sites. Some cutting may be necessary. Camp stoves may be a useful contingency. If it is dry, open fire bans are possible. Good water on site. We will have ice available for purchase to avoid trips to town.

Paul Walters first joined Royal Rangers in 1968 as a Pioneer in Outpost 14, Catlett, VA. He joined FCF in 1976 and earned the Gold Medal of Achievement the following year. He became an Outpost Commander at 18 and has served with outposts in Maryland, Texas, and Delaware. Paul currently serves at Outpost 284, Praise A/G, Newark, DE.
Paul has served in various FCF positions, including Penn-Del District Vice President and Chapter President, the Territorial Representative for the Northeast Region and the National Vice President.
Some of Paul’s most significant accomplishments include numerous Pathfinder mission’s trips. Paul has helped lead 12 Pathfinder trips to various parts of the world and is a member of the National Pathfinders Committee.
Paul comments, “When I received my GMA, I took the charge to always give back more to the Rangers than I have received. I have tried to put this into practice in my Royal Rangers and FCF leadership positions. Growing up as a Royal Ranger, I have seen the benefits of this great ministry in my life. I feel blessed to be called and be a part of it.”
“The mountain men of the fur-traders era, such as Jedediah Strong Smith, were
innovators. They were ahead of their time in the development of the West. I feel we,
as FCF members, are called to be innovators in the Lord’s service. We
shouldn’t just try to portray the mountain men. We should strive to be ahead of our
time as Royal Rangers and FCF members. This will help us to fulfill the purposes of
FCF.”
National FCF President Paul “Grey Owl” Walters
