What is Royal Rangers?
Royal Rangers is a ministry that reaches across the United States and in over 65
nations around the world. It motivates boys spiritually through Bible study and
memorization, devotionals, and Christian role models. Boys are strengthened mentally
by an advanced awards-based weekly program. Further, the boys increase their
physical prowess by participation in age-specific activities and recreation. Finally, they
are introduced to church, community, and nature-related activities to develop their
social skills and awareness.
Dedicated leaders, called commanders, provide boys the necessary direction during
a weekly outpost meeting. The meetings are designed to develop the total boy for
Christ and offer love and understanding between the boy and a godly role model.
The Life of a Royal Ranger includes great outdoor adventures through
camping, water activities, hiking, rappelling, and mountain climbing, as well
as challenging indoor adventures. There will be opportunities year-round to
attend tremendous camping events at the outpost, district, or national levels.
The experience as a Royal Ranger will be one of growth. He will grow in four ways.
Through proper exercise and diet, his body will develop physically. Through prayer,
Bible study, and witnessing, he will grow spiritually. By studying and reading, his mind
will grow mentally. And by learning how to treat others, he will develop socially.

Each outpost has four age groups to allow boys to advance with their peers at an
appropriate pace. |
Ranger Kids
(Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade),
includes a challenging and fun advancement system encouraging
boys through indoor and outdoor activities and games. The
weekly lessons and objectives help to reinforce godly
principles in their daily lives, and they will have
opportunities to achieve many advancement awards that can be
placed on an awards vest and worn each week as part of the
official Royal Rangers uniform.
Discovery
Rangers program (Third, fourth, and fifth
grade), features an exciting premier
advancement system. In this system boys will learn through
camping and non-camping activities. An emphasis is placed on
learning at their own pace in a merit-based curriculum. (Cmdr Jim Hardesty)
Adventure
Rangers (Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade),
participate in more challenging camping and outdoor activities
while emphasizing skill development, advanced camping, Junior
Leadership Training, Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship (FCF),
and Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals with national recognition.
(Cmdr Robert
Ryden)
Expedition
Rangers (Ninth through twelfth grade) is
considered a high action- packed adventure trail in which the
boy is further challenged by advanced camping, camp craft
skills, and ministry opportunities. These activities offer
boys in this age group ways to become more self-reliant and
develop confidence and a greater appreciation of God. Several
advancement programs are available including Air Rangers, Sea
Rangers, Trail Rangers, Junior Chaplaincy, High Action
Rangers, Junior Leadership Academy opportunities and more.
Boys will be challenged to serve through Home Missions,
Foreign Missions, Youth Ministry, and Men’s Ministry.

The weekly planning guides encourage the boys to learn and stay on course for the
Gold Medal of Achievement—the highest award a boy can earn, which is the
equivalent of the Boy Scouts Eagle Scout Award. |
The mission of Royal Rangers is to reach, teach, and keep boys for Christ! The
purpose of the Royal Rangers ministry is to evangelize boys for Christ, develop the
total boy for Christ (spiritually, physically, mentally and socially), and keep boys in our
churches.
Our aim and goals for Royal Rangers are to instruct, challenge and inspire our boys
in the areas of Bible doctrine, Christian service, moral conduct, and basic beliefs of
our church through interesting activities that boys enjoy.
