Here's a preview of the first few weeks of planning, and implementation. There are four basic steps to establishing a Royal Rangers outpost in your church and community.
Step 1 - Establish the Leadership Roles:
Church Leadership, Church, Ministry Oversight, Outpost Council, Outpost Leaders, Group Commanders and Senior Commander
Step 2-Get Training
Step 3-Plan and Conduct the First Three Meetings
Step 4-Charter Your Outpost
After you have established your outpost, you can receive a great deal of assistance in implementing the program by chartering your outpost. In order to obtain chartering, you must meet the minimum requirements, including:
- A qualified leader and, if possible, one or more assistants
- At least five students who have met the recruit requirements (explained in Chapter 14 of the Leaders Manual)
- A registration fee for each participating student and adult paid to the national Royal Rangers ministry office
- Holding three regular meetings

Along with being officially recognized as a chartered Royal Rangers outpost, your ministry will receive many benefits such as:
- A unique outpost number the students and leaders rally around and wear on their uniform
- An official charter certificate to proudly display at the church
- Membership cards for the leaders and students in your program
- News reports from the national Royal Rangers ministry office
- Award program enrollment, making your leaders and students eligible to participate in national incentive programs to keep them sharp and motivated
- Selected materials that highlight the many areas of ministry available to Royal Rangers participants
|
Other benefits, such as participation in the Leadership Training Academy and Ranger of the Year program offered by the national Royal Rangers ministry office
Starting a Royal Rangers ministry is quite simple. But it does require time to walk through the four steps that will lay a solid foundation upon which the ministry can grow and thrive. Once you have established a healthy outpost in your church, you may prayerfully consider starting groups throughout the community-in schools, community centers, public plazas, orphanages, and in other strategic places to “reach, teach, and keep students for Christ." |
