Andrew J Minisino Crowning, Camp Belzer - 7/27/12


Minisino is the honorary camp rank of Firecrafter.

Minisino is a Miami Indian word that means Tried and Proven. A candidate is put on trial for two camping weeks to prove to himself and the entire Scouting movement his outstanding Friendship, Leadership, and Service. The requirements to Minisino are known only to Minisinos and Minisino Candidates.

A youth becomes eligible once he has been a Firecrafter for two winter seasons. He must also be at least a Star Scout, no more that 20 years of age, active in year round Firecrafter activities, and active in his ember. He must also be nominated by a Firecrafter and voted upon by a committee.

 
 
To him alone, who by his service, devotion, and achievements, proves himself worthy of high trust, comes recognition. Many may aspire, but the Gifts of Manitou are precious and descend only upon those whose efforts and achievements most nearly meet his requirements.
