COLONIALS
TERRITORIAL RENDEZVOUS
“AD DARE SERVIRE”
1 PETER 4:10
NY District Ranger Camp
Greene, NY
October 8-11, 2015
Dear FCF Brothers of the Colonials Territory,
As the 2015 Colonials Territorial Rendezvous
approaches, the Territorial FCF Staff invites you to be
a part of this great event. Rendezvous will be held at
the New York District Rangers Camp in Greene, NY.
We will continue with the tradition started at the 2013
Territorial Rendezvous by having Chapter Chairmen
as our guest speakers. This year, Steve Monez
(Adirondack), Ellwood Cutler (John Fenwick), Greg
Scott (George Washington) and Rev. Tim Haynes
(King’s Pine) will present us with challenging words
from God.
We are anticipating this to be the greatest
Rendezvous to date as we gather this fall to rekindle
friendships, compete in exciting events that will test
our skills, show young bucks what being a
Christian man is about, and hear from
God through four very special men.
Plan to join us this October, and
bring your young bucks with you.
See you at Rendezvous!
Brian “Patches” Miller
Colonials Territorial Representative
Guest Speakers
Steve “Trail Runna” Monez
New York District Director
Steve gave his life to the lord in June of 1974 and began
working in Royal Rangers in September of 1975. He had
served his local outposts as a Lt. Commander, Outpost
Commander and Senior Commander. In 1985, Steve moved to
the Long Island Section and began working with the Sectional
Staff there as Area Commander and Sectional Commander. He
has served the New York District as Division Commander,
Training Coordinator, Deputy District Commander and is
currently District Director. Steve is chartered with outpost 99
in Valley Stream, NY where he currently serves as an Assistant
Group Leader. He is a wilderness member of the FCF and has
taken the name “Trail Runna”.
Ellwood “Trapper” Cutler
New Jersey District Director
Ellwood started in Royal Rangers back in 1980 in the
Georgia District. A short time later he moved to NJ
(where he’s originally from) and he mentioned to a
person he did not know that he had been introduced to
Royal Rangers but really did not know a lot about it.
Little did he know he was talking to the District
Commander. He saw to it that Ellwood got the training
he needed and before long he was wearing many hats. In
1984 Ellwood joined FCF but it was many years before
he really got plugged in. After being heavily involved at
the outpost, section, and district levels Ellwood suffered
a heart attack in 2000. He thought his involvement was
coming to an end but God had another plan. He became
FCF Scribe and took on other support functions at the
district level. He just wanted to help where he could.
Unexpectedly he was asked to take on responsibility for
the district in 2008. The pace has been fast ever since. “I
learned that while you can have health setbacks you need
to let God guide your path through life.”
Rev. Tim “Circuit Rider” Haynes
Northern New England District Director
Pastor Tim was appointed as the Northern New
England Royal Rangers District Director after
many years of involvement in the ministry. He
remembers some men in his home church who took
up the challenge to start a Rangers ministry, and
met with the boys of the church, took them
camping and hiking, and taught them the Motto
and Pledge. Although it wasn’t a model outpost,
the impact of those men investing in the lives of boys inspired him to want to do the same
when he was called to be a pastor.
Pastor Tim has not only supported the Royal Rangers ministry, he has been personally
involved with local outpost and district events. He has served as Chaplain, Missions
Coordinator, and Certified Instructor, and has led worship and spoken at numerous
district events. He has also helped plan and lead most of the Ranger activities and trips in
his local outpost.
Pastor Tim and his wife, Sue, who is also a supporter and volunteer for Ranger events,
have four sons, and a daughter. Three of their sons are now Rangers Leaders, and their
grandsons are growing up in the ministry. He has been Senior Pastor at Calvary
Pentecostal Church, in Madison, Maine since 1991. The Haynes family has also been
involved with MAPS Construction projects, and has helped build three churches and a
Bible School in Latin America.
Greg “North Arrow” Scott
Penn-Del District Director
Commander Greg, from Camden, DE, assumed the office of Penn
Del District Royal Rangers Director on January 1, 2006 where he
serves today. Greg, well trained and well traveled for Royal
Rangers throughout his Royal Rangers career of 33 years, has
assumed many other responsibilities such as Senior Commander
of his outpost, Delmarva Sectional Commander, East Division
Commander, Junior Training Camps and National Training
Camps staff, and currently serves on the Honey Grove Royal
Rangers Camp Council Board.
