Royal Rangers

Mountain View Outpost

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.

The objective of Royal Rangers is to REACH, TEACH, and KEEP boys for JESUS CHRIST.

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 godly role models.

Each outpost has separate age groups to allow boys to advance with their peers at an appropriate pace:

Ranger Kids

Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade boys.

This impressionable age group is foundational in providing the background and training for additional participation in the Royal Rangers program. Its challenging and fun advancement system encourages boys to learn utilizing indoor and outdoor activities and games. The weekly lessons and objectives help to reinforce godly principles in their daily lives. In this age group the boys have an opportunity to achieve many advancement pins that can be placed on an awards vest and worn each week as part of the official Royal Rangers uniform.

Discovery Rangers

Third, fourth, and fifth grade boys.

The Discovery Rangers program 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 boys.

Adventure Rangers participate in more challenging camping and outdoor activities while emphasizing skill development, advanced camping, Junior Leadership Training, Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship (FCF), Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals with national recognition. The weekly planning guides will encourage the boys to learn and stay on course for the Gold Medal of Achievement--the highest award a boy can earn.

Royal Rangers Events

Camping

Royal Rangers offers outpost and district events to fulfill the natural characteristic of boys for the outdoors. Camping is an effective way to accomplish the basic love that boys have for physical activity and adventure. Under properly trained leadership, camping can be used to help develop the boys into dedicated Christian men.

Campcraft is a progressive method by which boys and their leaders learn to take care of themselves and others safely, healthfully, and comfortably in the outdoors.

Our Father, we thank Thee for the beauty of this unspoiled world, for the lake and the trees, the rocks and the stars which chart the way to heaven. May we appreciate it to such an extent that our presence here shall not detract in any way from the beauty that was here before we came.

Grant us health, that we may be able to get the most out of this camping experience. Give us the willingness to do our full share of the work of the day.

Give us, our Father, the physical courage to meet whatever emergency may arise and, if necessary, to bear the pain bravely. Give us the moral courage to say, "No."

Guard us from boastfulness, intolerance and deceit. And never permit us to forget that we are here under peaceful skies because other boys, not much older than we, died to make it so.

Protect us, dear God, through the hours of the day and the darkness of the night, that we may return at the conclusion of this happy experience, better than when we left, to those who love us.

We ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.
