FCF Dues and for the year payment will be available January 1, 2025
Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship (FCF) is a special program of Royal Rangers that provides men and boys with additional opportunities to develop specialized outdoor skills based on the lore and traditions of the early American frontiersmen. FCF members participate in special events where frontier skills are demonstrated and practiced. Competitions are commonly held that promote the development of these skills and reflect the excitement, color, and flair of frontier America.
Members of Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship are challenged to demonstrate the attributes exemplified by the early frontiersmen as they seek to further the objectives of the Royal Rangers ministry.
Dues for FCF are required to be paid before February 28. We have established a link above to pay online or by paper forms. A one time payment of $100.00 for Old Timers and $75.00 for Young Bucks will give you access to all Kentucky District FCF events for the year and includes your dues. You will be given an order number on your online receipt that must be used when you register online for all future FCF event for the year. This will be verification that you paid for the year. Registration for each event is necessary to get an attendance head count even though you paid for the year.
