Royal Rangers
Royal Rangers is a ministry that reaches across the United States and in over 80 nations around the world. It focuses on helping boys develop in four main areas:
· Spiritually – through Bible study and memorization, devotionals, and Christian role models.
· Mentally – by earning merit awards at weekly meetings.
· Physically – through activities, games, crafts, and camping.
· Socially – through interaction at church and community service.
Our church’s group, or OUTPOST, meets during weekly Wednesday night church service. Each outpost is divided into four classes by age. Within these classes, boys are put into Patrols. PATROLS are made up of 4-8 boys who work together as a team.
