At the beginning of each new season, the voyageurs would assemble at their company and recruit new
canoe mates. These new mates went by the name of "Engager" until they made their first trade. In our
crew, Les Engagers are those that have yet to be invested into the group. Currently we have three
engagers, Pete, Matt and Sam. These three youth have a normal scouting uniform however they do not
have their group scarf yet. Once they have participated in two meetings and 2 camps we will invest
them. The investiture will take place at their last camp in front of the group campfire. Unfortunately
that is all that can be said about the ceremony. Once they are invested they become Mangeurs de Larde,
roughly translated that means pork eaters. At this stage they are considered part of the crew and fall
into the classification of Meilleurs. Until these youth complete their hivernot they will not be able
to hold the position of Gouvernail or Avant. BONNE CHANCE LES ENGAGERS
