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.

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 a godly role model.

The Life of a Royal Ranger includes great outdoor adventures through camping, water activities, hiking, rappelling, and mountain climbing, as well as challenging indoor adventures. There will be opportunities year-round to attend tremendous camping events at the outpost, district, or national levels.

Royal Rangers meet weekly on Wednesday nights from 7:00 – 8:30 pm, September – June. Boys may join at any time during the year. The Outpost Commander is Chris Post and the Western New York Sectional Commander is Vern Markant. In addition to weekly meetings, the boys participate in a summer camping event called “PowWow”, winter camping, Klondike Run sledding event and winter retreat, Pinewood Derby Race, and an annual Council Fire and Awards Ceremony.
