The Knights of the Blue Elephant are now officially formed! Stay tuned for a photographic foray as we prepare to publish the first pictures of our weekly meeting.
The Knights of the Blue Elephant came into existence to fill a perceived void in the preparation of young men and women in the modern world. Based upon both good and disappointing experiences with other organizations that never lived up to their full potential, such as the Civil Air Patrol and Boy Scouts, our founding leader was struck with the idea of creating an unfettered organization to go the step beyond what these other organizations could offer. When Boy Scouts are no longer allowed to run at camp due to liability, when disorganization and poor planning are de rigeur, and when youth organizations are just happy to keep their members out of trouble, it was time for a change. It is to this end that we proudly give you the KBE!
The KBE prepares its members for leadership roles in today’s world, through helping them to excel both physically and mentally. Run by its entire membership, the goal is to foster a sense of self-discipline as each member aids in planning and putting into action the projects and activities of the organization. Whether scrambling to the snow-laden summit of a mountain peak or giving a lecture on the chemical process of glycolysis during exercise, each member learns self-reliance, proper planning, and determination as they train for and complete each goal.
