In FNE, we don't babysit boys. We build them up to be Men!

WHO ARE WE

The Federation of North American Explorers (FNE) is a volunteer Catholic Faith-based youth movement that teaches responsibility, promise, commitment, leadership, service, and loyalty. We explore nature, the outdoors, the community, service to others, and the Catholic faith..

Welcome

Who are these explorers anyway?

Explorers is a method of education of the child through a pedagogy developed by Father Jacques Sevin and Baden-Powell.

"Our mission is a bold one: to help all our members become everyday saints and through them to bring God’s joy and peace to the families and communities of North America. We do this through camping, playing, cooking, the outdoors, helping others along with a deep sense of brotherhood or sisterhood.

We welcome you to explore who the FNE family is. My hope is that through browsing our website you will be inspired to explore the depths of the program awaiting your son or daughter through a well-proven program and method. We would be honored and thrilled if you or your child joins us in this positive and exciting way of life."
