Does anyone know where old copies of the Pen FL Ranger Trails may be located? I am doing a Historical project and they would be very helpful. Any information can be directed to me by email or comment here or posting on Section 5 face book page. My email is This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Church of God denomination for several years has been able to offer Royal Rangers as a member of the pccna (Pentecostal/Charismatic
Churches of North America.). We are pleased to announce that the Church of God has officialy adopted Royal Rangers as its primary boys ministry. We can now welcome over 400 potential outposts to the Royal Ranger family. Lets do our very best to welcome these brothers in the Lord and reach out to them!

From time to time as a ministry we have needs for various trades/skills/talents. We are often caught saying "I wish I knew someone who did that and then we could call them!"  So we thought we'd ask you to go here and tell us what gifts/skills/talents/trades that you have and wouldn't mind letting us know about. There is no commitment by doing this, just letting us know you're out there.

October is fast approaching and the first full week in October each year is National Royal Rangers Week.  This is a time when many churches across the country, and indeed around the world, recognize the Royal Rangers ministry in a special way. Often, churches will recognize Royal Rangers during a service, or an outpost will have a special campout or plan a special community outreach. The week is a great time to promote Royal Rangers both inside AND outside of the local church environment.

In conjunction with National Royal Rangers Week, the following Friday and Saturday have been designated as the National Prayer Vigil.

The national office has prepared a list of ten things your church can do to promote Royal Rangers during National Royal Rangers Week. The list is not all inclusive. The ideas to promote Royal Rangers in your community are only limited by your imagination! Please click here to download the list.

After the recent appointment of Doug Marsh to the National Commanders position we contacted him to get an interview.  We asked him about his personal life, education, and thoughts on Rangers.  I think we have some very exciting times coming in the future of Royal Rangers. Pray for Commander Marsh as he continues to lead us.
