For many years our region held a Powamu -- a FCF-themed family camp for all Royal Rangers and their families. For a number of reasons we quit hosting this camp, but in 2010 we have a unique opportunity to hold another Powamu because there is no other national or territorial event scheduled. So earlier this year we started planning a Powamu to help fill this gap in our national/regional scheduling.

The Powamu will be held Labor Day weekend (September 3-6) at Camp Adventure in Chandler, OK. Camp Adventure is the campground for the Oklahoma District Royal Rangers, and they have some great facilities for this camp, from a huge lodge and cabins to RV parking to plenty of camping space. Camp Adventure will be a great location for this Powamu whether you want to camp FCF style or in a modern camp.

Powamu will cost $30 for an individual, or $60 for the entire family. There will be lots of fun FCF-style games and activities, prizes, great services in the evening, and fellowship with Royal Rangers and their families from across the region (and beyond!)

If you want a Powamu t-shirt and/or medallion, you must send in your pre-registration and t-shirt order forms by August 13th. Don't miss your chance to order a t-shirt and medallion for this very unique camping opportunity.

Plan now to attend this unique, once-in-a-lifetime event. Families, of course, are encouraged. However, any FCF member, former or present, may attend.

March 2010
As the Leadership Training Academy is transitioning to the Rangers Ministry Academy, it has become necessary for the Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship to adjust our requirements for membership and advancement awards for leaders.
The current requirements will remain in effect as they are with the exception of the Wilderness Frontiersmen requirement for leaders to attend NTC. For the duration of 2010, leaders who have not already been to NTC and wish to advance to Wilderness may do so by substituting the new NRMC, the National Ranger Ministry Camp. If they have attended NTC they may use that option.
All other requirements will remain the same until December 31, 2010. All of the FCF applications have been updated to reflect that adjustment. Applications received after that date for any of the three levels of FCF advancement must meet the 2011 advancement plan requirements.
Below are advancement options for 2010:

• New members to FCF may join using either plan.

  • If the 2011 system is chosen, they must stay on that path.

  • If the current system is chosen, they may apply for advancement with the current requirements until December 31, 2010.
    

• Frontiersmen advancing to Buckskin
  

If the 2011 system is chosen, the leader must meet all requirements for Buckskin using
that plan. If this option is selected, they must stay on that path from this point forward.

• If the current system is chosen, they may apply for advancement with the current requirements until December 31, 2010.
  

• Buckskin Members advancing to Wilderness
  

If the 2011 system is chosen, the leader must meet all requirements for Wilderness
using that plan. If this option is selected, they must stay on that path from this point
forward.
If the current system is used, they may apply for advancement with the current
requirements until December 31, 2010.

• All leaders advancement requirements will shift to the 2011 requirements on January 1, 2011

• All boys requirements will remain the same.

Note: As a reminder, all requirements must be completed before applying for advancement.

Updated applications for both plans are available at www.naitonalfcf.org
