Firecrafter - Fall Frenzy

History of Firecrafter Fall Frenzy

In 2005, under the youth leadership of John Pinkus and advisor Walter Sullivan, Firecrafter introduced a fall event called Firecrafter Fall Frenzy. The event was created to give Firecrafters a chance to test their Scouting and Firecrafter skills. The first event had 50 brothers in attendance and Michael Carney left as the very first Firecrafter Ultimate Mastercrafter.
