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.
