The "Trail of the Grizzly" has been designed to lead men and boys along a challenging advancement trail. The purpose of this trail is to prepare men and boys to successfully complete each of the FCF advancements by including a unique set of merits for the Frontiersmen, Buckskin and Wilderness steps. The information listed below can also be found on pages 30-32 of the FCF handbook.
All of the Trail of the Grizzly merits are easily identified with a grizzly paw print. The Frontiersmen merit awards display a green paw print, the Buckskin merits a black grizzly paw print, and the Wilderness a white grizzly paw print. On pages 118-120 of the FCF handbook a sign off page for each level of advancement has been provided to assist in keeping track of where you are in your advacncement. Now are you ready for adventure? Then lets follow the Trail of the Grizzly!
