The FCF Motto
To give and to serve. Ad Dare Servire (Latin)
The FCF Symbol
The blazing campfire is the official symbol of FCF. The campfire provided
the early frontiersman with light and warmth, and was essential for cooking.
It was used for other vital needs as well.
The blazing campfire, therefore, symbolizes the spirit of FCF - which is
Christian love (warmth), personal witness (light), and dedicated service
(usefulness). There are five logs around the fire. They represent the five
things needed to keep the spirit of FCF alive: courage, achievement,
friendship, leadership, and woodsmanship.
The FCF Pledge
I share with you the warmth and glow of this campfire. These crimson flames
are a symbol of our fellowship and adventures in camping. I promise to share
with you the warmth of Christian friendship and with others the light of my
Christian testimony. I promise to keep alive the spirit of FCF in my
personal life and to observe at all times the principles of Royal Rangers.
