About the Federation of North-American Explorers

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.

Explorers is a method of education of the child through a pedagogy developed by Father Jacques Sevin and Lord Baden-Powell. FNE develops the whole child from a physical, emotional, spiritual, social and intellectual perspective. We further teach and model responsibility, promise, commitment, leadership, service, and loyalty.

We accomplish these promises by safely and constructively exploring nature, the community, service to others and our Catholic faith. FNE embraces a well-proven program from our UIGSE brothers and sisters in Europe as proud members of the FSE.

Our St. John Paul II group in Oakville was founded in 2016. We are associated with St. Matthew's Parish.
