Will,
Your perception of a kangroo court is correct.
I personally would advise against doing this at an FCF event. Although not
as extreme, it sounds like the way FCF greenhorns were treated when FCF was
a fraternity. Some people might perceive this kangroo court as a form of
hazing.
Again, this is my personal opinion... You know your people and FCF chapter
better than me.

>Brothers & Sisters,

>I'm trying to get the FCF members in my area to set up a Kangaroo court
>for next years Pow-Wow/Roundup. The problem is - no one knows how to do
>one.
>
>+Is there anyone out there that can give me some rules, procedures and/or
>guidelines for such an event? I had a hard time explaining it to the
>Staff, so I would like to get more information before trying again.
>
>Basically, here's my perception of what happens at a Kangaroo court:
>
>The FCF members would gather tidbits of information from the Rangers
>about their Commanders and other Rangers in the camp. About an hour
>before dusk and the council fire, everyone would meet at the FCF village
>where the court would begin. When a person was called out, they were
>told of their 'trumped up' charges and asked if the charges are true.
>Even if the charges were not true, the court found them guilty. Then for
>retribution, the guilty had to do some bizarre task, like catching eggs,
>taking a pie in the face, etc. The participants would receive a
>prize/gift afterwards, usually candy, a bolo tie, a watermelon, etc.
>
>
>+Also, can you give me some descriptive recommendations for tasks the
>accused can?

>Thanking you in advance,
