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.
Royal Rangers ministers to boys in the United States
and in over 65 countries through Bible study and memorization, devotionals,
outdoor and camping activities, and Christian role models. Boys are strengthened
- by a
merit-based advancement program
- by
participation in age-specific activities and recreation, and
- through
church and community service activities.
- through Bible study and
devotions.
Dedicated leaders provide direction during weekly
outpost meetings in the local church, which are designed to develop the total
boy for Christ.
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.

 |
The 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.
|
 |
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.
|
|
|
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.
