About Us Frontiersman Camping Fellowship
Frontiersman Camping Fellowship (FCF) is an elite group within Royal Rangers for boys in sixth grade through adulthood. The early American frontiersmen were an excellent example of people’s ability to adapt to the outdoors and the wilderness. Their achievements were also an example of courage and determination. The national Royal Rangers office, therefore, decided to base this fellowhsip on the lore and traditions of these early frontiersmen. FCF provides a unique opportunity for leaders (Old-Timers) and Rangers (Young-Bucks) to develop skills and experience spiritual growth at a new level.

Pathfinders
Founded in 1995, PathFinder Missions exists to construct churches, Ranger camps, Christian schools, clinics, orphanages, missionary dwellings, or anything a missionary needs to build God’s Kingdom at home in the USA, or in the most remote areas of the world. Teams need a variety of construction talents, such as carpentry, masonry, framework, post and beam work, and native material construction. Accepting the challenge of a Royal Rangers PathFinder Missions trip may also require you to use your campcraft, woodsmanship, backpacking, and survival skills.
