The Minisino Honor  2001 Minisinos Crowned  Minisino is the highest honor that may be bestowed upon a Firecrafter. The word Minisino is a Miami Indian word meaning tried and proven. A Minisino does not, however, outrank a Firecrafter. The Minisino honor represents that the Firecrafter is "tried and proven."  A Youth is eligible to be tapped out for Minisino the summer following his becoming a Firecrafter, although it usually requires three years. To be tapped out, a Firecrafter must demonstrate outstanding qualities of friendship, leadership, and service. After a Firecrafter is tapped out, he must successfully complete a two-week candidacy at one of the council camps to become a Minisino. Minisino's requirements are known only to Minisinos and Minisino candidates.  An adult's Minisino candidacy begins the minute he becomes a Firecrafter. He too must demonstrate the outstanding qualities of a Firecrafter. After a Firecrafter for at least five years, he can be crowned a Minisino. The youth Minisinos can be crowned at any time durring the summer camping season, while the adults are usually crowned at the Rituals.
