7 RAW Pow Wow is The Big Event of the Year for Tennessee Royal Rangers and is a real ministry for reaching out to boys, teaching them the gospel of Jesus Christ and keeping them in church with the "right" peer group. Evangelistic possibilities are fantastic! Presenting Christ in the middle of the excitement and thrill of RAW Pow Wow gives salvation a very different dimension. Many boys who may be indifferent to church can be won to Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit at camp. We want to show them that Jesus Christ is a reality anywhere and at any time in their lives. RAW Pow Wow can be a life-changing experience for all who attend. The camp includes FCF Village, Paintball (with special permission forms), Cardboard Regatta, Soapbox Derby, Laser Tag, and many more competitions for the Outpost and Individual. Each activity becomes an exciting adventure! Page 4 [Back to top]

8 FCF VILLAGE Frontiersmen, please honor the intent of the village by covering all appearances of 21st century items. Many events, including FCF-style competitions, are planned for the FCF Village. Knife throwing, hawk throwing, and archery will test the skills of young bucks and old timers alike. These events will require traffic limits and other safety precautions for the active range areas around the event. Be sure to visit the village and check for the times of competition. No FCF Village in Tennessee would be complete without the savory smells from the FCF kitchen. Come and sample the offerings from the many cooks. You will even get to sample some special surprises! Once again, skills will be plentiful. The times of each demonstration will be posted, so come and try something new. Craft demonstrations will be going on all the time. Traders Row will be open for active trading at various times on Sunday and Monday. A schedule will be distributed at camp. Come prepared with some sample goods you'll want to trade. The FCF Communion Service will be at 9:00 p.m. Sunday evening. Please allow your older FCF boys to participate in this communion fellowship time with their FCF friends and with our Lord. Boys are permitted to live in the FCF Village under strict guidelines: Must be at the Buckskin level Must stay in a primitive shelter Must work in the FCF trade or assist an old-timer in his trade Must be approved by FCF President Greg Atwellmailto:crazywolfga@aol.com Must be in FCF outfit when in the village The old-timers living in the village have a responsibility to mentor these young bucks by setting the example of an "authentic" village. This includes active skill demonstrations, storytelling, period items, outfits, etc. Page 5 [Back to top]

9 Tennessee District Missions & RAW Pow Wow Panama Master s Toolbox Project for RAW Pow Wow Royal Rangers has partnered with BGMC to raise funds for specific missions projects. Panama 100, our 2017 Tennessee Master s Toolbox Project, will help Tennessee Royal Rangers and Pathfinders build two churches and add two classrooms to a Latin American Child Care Christian School. Each outpost is challenged to raise funds and bring them to Pow Wow. Offerings can also be sent directly to the BGMC office using the special BGMC Target Project Number: This number MUST be included with your offering. Click HERE to download a form to include when submitting your offering. BGMC has created a special offering box for Royal Rangers to use to collect money for the "Masters Toolbox" program. These FREE boxes can be ordered from My Healthy Church at Ask for item number We will have a table in the gymnatorium with items to be auctioned off by silent auction. These will be donated items and 100% of the money raised will go to missions. Outposts are encouraged to bring items for the missions auction. Page 6 [Back to top]

18 Event Rules and Guidelines Outpost Racer The outpost racer competition will have two categories: Design and Racing. The Design category will have first, second, and third place trophies. The Racing category will have first, second, and third place trophies in each of three divisions: Discovery Rangers, Adventure Rangers, and Expedition Rangers. If you want to enter just the racing event and compete for the racing trophies, your outpost will build the standard racer. Plans are provided on the next few pages for those needing to build a racer this year. If your outpost desires to compete in the design category and compete for the design ribbons, then your vehicle must be theme related and must be race able. Your outpost may enter both the Design and the Racing events with the same vehicle. Of course, it will have to be theme related. Each outpost may enter one vehicle. Bring cars before Sunday morning formation for inspection and judging. Please make sure you have the Outpost Number on the car. Outpost Racer Racing Downhill Racers will check-in for safety pre-inspection on Sunday morning after formation. Final inspection will be Monday morning before the race. The Camp Safety Coordinator will make final decision on all racing decisions. 1. Cars must meet specifications for width of wheel base, length of wheel base and type and size of wheels see next page for specifications. Racer frame must be made of wood. 2. Drivers who crash into other racers will forfeit that race. The other racer/driver will automatically be declared the winner. This forfeiture decision is made by the judges at the time of the race and is a noncontestable decision. 3. A vehicle that is judged unsafe by the racing judges will not be allowed to race. This vehicle may be entered in the Design competition if it meets design specifications. This rule will not be nit picky, but will be used to disqualify obviously unsafe vehicles. Two or more judges must concur to disqualify a vehicle as unsafe. Page 15 [Back to top]
