Dear Fellow Ranger:
 
In 1966, a new program came to be, and I am thankful that I had the privilege of being the first Royal Ranger leader to be initiated into the "FRONTIERSMEN CAMPING FRATERNITY". At that time, I took the name of "Flying Eagle".

As the frontiersmen traveled west to the new land (men, women and children) they encountered many hazards on the way. We, the frontiersmen, dressed like the men of the old west, camped as such, and went through some hard times just as they did. We even ate some nature foods, such as uncooked foods.

We learned how these frontier people traveled across the country to reach new land where they would establish settlements. The native Americans (Indians) were already on this land and were opposed to the new settlers that came. The frontiersmen battled the Indians, lost many along the way, but continued on.

As a "Frontiersmen", I traveled and went through hardships in the Ozark mountains in Missouri. It was while traveling through the Ozarks that I carried my walking stick which had a "flying eagle" atop. The stick signified my presence in the tent where I camped.

In the Ozark mountains, the "National Rendezvous" gathered. The night council fires brought each of us closer together as we listened to our leaders speaking, shared our faith, and were in the setting of nature on the river's banks.

In all, I would recommend whoever can survive the frontier hardships to join up and receive great blessings from the great FRONTIERSMAN "FROM ABOVE".

In Jesus,

Flying Eagle
