What are Royal Rangers?

REACHING, TEACHING & KEEPING BOYS FOR CHRIST!

ROYAL RANGER EMBLEM

Royal Rangers is a ministry that reaches across the United States and in over 80 nations around the world.  It motives 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 with 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.
