         Royal Rangers are divided into 4 age groups, the first three age groups will be growing in these four categories

 Physically:  Their bodies will grow strong through proper exercise and diet.

 Spiritually:  Their spirits will grow strong through prayer, Bible study and witnessing.

 Mentally: Their minds will grow strong by reading, studying, and memorizing Scripture passages.

       Socially:  Their relationships with people will grow strong by learning how to treat them.

 

 

Ranger Kids—the trail to fun and adventure—is an exciting program for boys in kindergarten, first and second grades.

 

 

 

Discovery Rangers is a fun and exciting program for boys in third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade. Not only does the boy get to discover great indoor and outdoor activities, he will get to make many new friends.

 

 

 

 

Adventurers from the past include men like Christopher Columbus, who sailed west into uncharted waters to get to India and discovered the American continents; Nicolas Copernicus, who developed a new theory about the arrangement of our universe; and Jedidiah Strong Smith, who explored the wilds of America's western frontier. These are men who inspire us all to probe and expand our horizons.

 

As Adventure Rangers, sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade young men have the chance to do as these men. A Ranger is one who explores new frontiers, so the Adventure Ranger will explore new areas as he learns the history of Royal Rangers and takes advantage of opportunities for the future.

 

 

Expedition Rangers is the exciting ministry for older High-School youth. It has four primary categories:

      Achievement through the advancement system to continue to earn awards.

      Leadership training skills through junior camps and working in Royal Rangers

                   and Youth ministries.

      Service through a variety of ministry opportunities.

      Activities through high action activities that challenge youth with adventure.

 

   Each of the four categories is linked together with the "Spirit Challenge", a weekly Bible study developed specifically for older teens. There are also over one hundred different silver merits providing tremendous options to learn different skills, participate in sports and youth ministries.

 

   Royal Rangers is developing youth for the future through our four-phase strategy: Evangelism, Discipleship, Missions, and Ministry.

 

   Royal Rangers and National Youth Ministries encourage churches to provide both Youth ministries and Expedition Rangers for their teens. This can be accomplished by having the ministries on different days and will allow you many options as you participate in these excellent ministries.

 

     The boys will need to learn the following items in order to become a Royal Ranger recruit except the Ranger Kids. When the boy has demonstrated his ability to recite the memory requirements then he will be given a handbook and a vest for his age group. We ask that the parents help pay for their son’s uniform when the time comes.

     We encourage the parents to help their boys learn the memory work, that way the boy learns it and at the same time you as parents will know how your boys are doing. Plus from time to time the outpost Leaders will keep you informed of your boy’s progress, In addition we will be handing out permission slips for the outings that the boys will be going on. We try to do a fair amount of outings like hiking, camping, local and state parks, special campouts in the summer and winter where all of the boys from across the state will gather together for fun and games plus spiritual blessings. We also encourage any parent to participate with the Royal Rangers at any time you wish.
