7 Scouts Page Young Bucks! As I'm sure you know, Territorial Rendezvous is quickly approaching! Rendezvous has proven to be one of the most influential events I have ever been to in my days as a Royal Ranger and as an FCF member. I strongly encourage you to go and enjoy the opportunity to take part in the events and fellowship that happen at Rendezvous, but most importantly it is a time where you can grow in your relationship with God. There is no better group of people to be around if you are looking for a positive influence in your life. The FCF is a group of brothers who are there for you to support you in your life and walk with God. I encourage you all to go and have a great time, because I'm sure if you do, YOU WILL have a great time! God Bless! -Little Bear 7
