Ages 11-13
What can I expect as an adventure Ranger?
Adventure Rangers have more opportunities as they naturally mature and build on their skills that they have learnt. Along with having the chance to do more adventurous activities like archery and learn how to use a map and compass, Royal Rangers learn to construct shelters, benches and are taught to cook over a fire.
For this age group Royal Rangers concentrate on team building as they learn to assess what talents they have and how they fit into a team. For them to practise this skill within a fun environment it can be a real benefit and boost for their self-confidence.
Whenever there is the opportunity, a devotion as an Adventure Ranger can take place outdoors around a fire.
What does a young person gain from getting involved?
1. It builds their self esteem.
2. It improves social skills.
3. It encourage's a young person to work within a team.
4. They have an opportunity to learn about God in a different environment, very often in the outdoors.
All meetings are age appropriate and provide a perfect mix of fun and accomplishment. As Rangers progress through the the merit system process they receive recognition for their growth.
What is our curriculum at Royal Rangers?
There are four main areas that our curriculum covers. This underpins the four Gold points of the emblem.
Scouting
This along with the adventures that come with it gives young people and adults a common interest away from every day life. It helps in so many ways to develop a person to be resilient and confident, this nicely ties into another of our four areas which we cover in the curriculum.
Individual
Across all opportunities that are offered in Royal Rangers, every individual has the opportunity to learn through play and learn to develop their skills.
Social
Having fun with others is a key and rewarding part of being involved with Royal Rangers. Developing friendships with other outposts and with friends worldwide that last a life time. This has been a special part of belonging to Royal Rangers for many young people over the years.
Spiritual
The main focus throughout all of this is spiritual. Royal Rangers doesn't just give an opportunity for an individual to learn skills and have fun in a Christian based programme but soon enough can become involved in and a part of the local church.
