FCF Sponsor Tips


Summer is about upon us. Time for getting prospective FCF inductees ready for testing. Here is a list of tips I culled from a previous newletter.

Phase I:

  • 1. Determine that the candidate has completed all prerequisites.
  • 2. Fill out the application and send it to the scribe. (include sponsor’s name)
  • 3. Cover the following topics with the candidate so he can study and prepare himself: tool craft, lashing, Bible, outpost organization, map and compass, rope craft, first aid, uniform, fire craft, cooking, misc.
  • 4. Pretest or quiz the candidate by asking questions and have him demonstrate his abilities in preparation for Phase I. (DO NOT use Phase I test sheet!)
  • 5. Pretest or quiz areas that the candidate had problems with.
  • 6. Make sure the candidate is completely prepared for Phase I. 7. Provide transportation to Phase I. 8. Be present to support your candidate at his Phase I.

    • Phase II:

  • 1. Assist the candidate in the prerequisites for Phase II. Encourage him to send in the Phase II fees and a copy of his passing letter immediately to the scribe.
  • 2. Encourage the candidate in the days or weeks prior to the Phase II. He should look forward to participating in the Phase II Frontier Adventure.
  • 3. Make sure the candidate has all his items for Phase II as listed in the Phase II invitation letter.
  • 4. Provide or arrange transportation for the candidate to the Phase II Frontier Adventure.
  • 5. Be present at Phase II to support your candidate.
  • 6. Make or trade a love gift to share with the new Frontiersman.
  • 7. Be prepared with food items to share at the Friendship Breakfast.
