The Federation of North-American Explorers (FNE) is a Roman Catholic faith-based, outdoor youth movement in Canada and the USA based on the methods of Lord Robert Baden-Powell and Venerable Jacques Sevin. Our mission is 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.

FNE runs 4 programs by age:

  • Otters (6-7),
  • Timberwolves (8-12),
  • Explorers (12-16)
  • and Wayfarers (17-24).

These ages are the same for both the male and the female programs, both of which are separated by age and gender.
