Early frontiersmen demonstrated outstanding courage by exploring unknown wilderness, scaling high mountains, crossing barren deserts, blazingtrails in virgin forests, and enduring extreme heat, cold, peril, and hardships. Many are the stories of their bravery in battle, their struggle for survival, and their unwavering loyalty in the name of honor. FCF encourages each member to develop this same spirit of courage.

    The FCF member must demonstrate courage during an overnight induction before he can qualify as a member. Many of the tests and activities of this initiation demand a courage by taking an unwavering stand for the principles of Christianity by squarely facing each personal problem, by bravely enduring each difficulty in life, and by promptly aiding those who need help--even at the risk of his own safety.
