How does this work?
Eligibility
Boys and girls in K-8th grade can join. When the child reaches the spring campout (in 8th grade) they graduate from the program if they want. Several members stay beyond 8th grade because they enjoy the program.
Tribe
You can request to join a tribe of family or friends with sons/daughters the same age. However, if you are unfamiliar with a particular tribe email info@fourfeathersnation.org to help you get placed in a Tribe of other families and friends from your neighborhood or school.
Events
Your Tribe sets up smaller events including community service outings, feather earning activities/outings and fun days throughout the year. The Four Feathers Nation sets the dates for the larger events and annual campouts.
Attire
Vests and patches can be purchased from The Patch Store or a local Crystal Lake vendor that has all our colors and Four Feather starter kits. (ask your Chief for specifics). The cost of the Vest and starter patches are around $35 for each father and son/daughter.
Member Fees
Annual Fees of $120 per family is charged in March each year. Four Feathers Nation also charges per event and fees may vary depending on the nature of the event.
