Sounds great! Also sounds like someone's doing their job, and doing it well. >Here's the question. > >What can we do keep the flame alive in these boys, who are about a year from >being eligible to jump to youth? > >Those of you who entered FCF while a boy, I'd like to especially hear from >you. I entered FCF when I was 14, and it was the key to me remaining in Royal Rangers throughout the rest of my teen years (admittedly, this was a few years ago). The key for me was activities and the extra friendships that I was able to establish through FCF that I couldn't have through just the local outpost. Through FCF I was able to go to additional activities in the division, district, territory, and even a national event -- the 1976 national rendezvous. I had commanders who were committed to making sure I made it to any FCF activity that I was interested in going to . . . if they couldn't make it themselves, they made arrangements for me to go with someone else.
