Blacksmith Shop Workday Results

Dear N. Texas District:

Your Shawnee Trail work force went to camp this past weekend to run plumbing and electrical lines to the blacksmith shop. Nine hearty souls turned their attention and hands to this worthy project: Art “Flintlock” Sullivan, Mike “Pine Knot” Lyon, Ken “Coal” Harris, Rodney “Bow Breaker” Briggs, David “String Bean” Lowery, Jason “Tree Trainer” Crafton, Brian Williams, Nick Crafton and your’s truly, Frank “Jawbone” Super.

Renting a rock cutting trench machine was the key to completing this job. The rock cutter enabled the work force to not only complete the plumbing and electrical lines to the blacksmith shop, but to also run plumbing to the pavilion. Now, water runs freely to these places where it’s been needed for some time.

The finances for this work was raised through auctions held at the Shawnee Trail Family Days Camp and Christmas party.

There still remains much work to be done. The blacksmith shop needs light fixtures purchased and installed. The pavilion needs the siding secured on both gable ends, soffit installed on the east end and then painting of the siding and soffit. The game field bathhouse by registration needs soffit installed and painted. The lodge needs maintenance on the rain gutters and down spouts.

If anyone wants to come out to camp and work - whether it be one of these jobs, mowing or trimming trees, please let me know and the camp will be opened for you.

Praise God for all the work completed.

Thank you Shawnee Trail members for all your work this weekend.

May God bless all of you in all your affairs. Live life God’s way.

In Christ’s love,

Frank “Jawbone” Super, Shawnee Trail President

 

 

 

New Shawnee Trail Buckskin Member

North Texas Royal Rangers and Thrill Seekers everywhere: this is Frank “Jawbone” Super, your Shawnee Trail Chapter President, bringing you an update about the 2025 Pow Wow.

This year at Pow Wow one of our beloved Shawnee Trail FCF members stepped forward into the Buckskin ranks. Jason Crafton, now known as “Tree Trainer”, successfully completed a Buckskin challenge. Brother Tree Trainer will further his ministry by taking on leather craft as his frontier trade.

One of the best parts of FCF is our growth in our relationship to Jesus Christ. This growth is expedited by the desire to volunteer to advance to the next level in FCF. It all starts with getting ready to complete the Frontier Adventure, then growth continues through preparation for Buckskin and then Wilderness. Throughout the process we are refined through the blazing fire of our Lord.

If you are feeling stagnant in your Christian walk, I encourage you to volunteer to increase your commitment to Christ through taking on the challenge of FCF either by joining the Shawnee Trail or by stepping up to the next level of Buckskin or Wilderness.

View Buckskin Requirements here for your challenging next steps in FCF.

In Christ’s Love,
Frank “Jawbone” Super
Shawnee Trail President
