History of FCF for the Shawnee Trail Chapter

The Shawnee Trail Chapter is one of approximately 50 chapters in FCF. The Shawnee Trail Chapter covers the same geographic area as the North Texas Royal Rangers. This chapter has a long, rich history, but like anything that has a long, rich history, the Shawnee Trail Chapter has experienced its ups and downs.

Over time, this online history section will be expounded and grown to provide as complete a history of the chapter as is possible. If you have any information on the early days of the chapter, if you have photographs from Shawnee Trail events, or if you find any thing in this section that you believe to be a mistake, or not entirely historically accurate, please contact our district FCF Scribe.  All updates will occur within 2 hours after receiving the information from the FCF Scribe.
