Trappers Brigade

The Trappers Brigade is a special auxiliary group within the Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship.

The purpose for Trappers Brigade is to promote Christian Service among the FCF members by encouraging their involvement and participation in service to their church and fellowman.

Points are earned in varying amounts for varying types of service.  There are three basic steps of recognition. They are: Company Trapper (20 points), Bourgeois (40 additional points totaling 60 points), and the Free Trapper (60 additional points totaling 120 points).  Each additional thirty (30) points earned will entitle the Free Trapper to receive a numeral to be placed on his Trapper Medal.

To participate in the Trappers Brigade program an FCF member must be:

  • In good standing with his Chapter
  • An active member in his Chapter
  • Dues paid for the year
  • Actively involved in his local church and Royal Ranger Outpost

It is not necessary for the FCF member to have received his Buckskin or Wilderness status to qualify.

Service points are accumulated when an member volunteers his time, (with no consideration for wages) in church or community projects, special needs or organizations. Within the community where the member resides, he will receive one-half point per hour of service. For volunteer work done outside of his local setting, he will accumulate one point per hour of service, not counting travel time.

The emphasis of the Trappers Brigade program is to not only encourage the involvement of FCF members in the ministry of their local churches, but also to bring a Christian influence and testimony into community projects, needs, organizations, etc.
