ranger_star_72pixWHAT IS ROYAL RANGERS?

Royal Rangers is a ministry that reaches across the United States and into 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.



 

ranger_star_72pixOUR MISSION

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.

ranger_star_72pixOUR AIM & GOALS

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.

ranger_star_72pixThe Royal Ranger Code

ALERT, CLEAN, HONEST, COURAGEOUS, LOYAL, COURTEOUS, OBEDIENT, AND SPIRITUAL.

ranger_star_72pixThe Royal Ranger Motto

READY! Ready for anything: Ready to work, play, serve, worship, live and obey God's word.

ranger_star_72pixThe Golden Rule

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Matthew 7:12

ranger-kids-logo_72pixRanger 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_72pixDiscovery Rangers(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_rangers72pixAdventure 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. Many churches choose to stop their Ranger ministry after the sixth grade, while others find alternate nights to allow their boys to be fully involved in both the Youth and Royal Rangers ministries. However your church prefers to do this is totally up to your pastoral leadership team and is fully supported by the Network Royal Rangers staff.

expedition-rangers_72pixExpedition 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. 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.
