Re: [RR] National Royal Rangers - New Program Update

[Jim Hufferd]

I can only tell you what we in our District and section are doing, as it is up to your own District & Section to set the policy in your local area.   As for our section, we are offering*, for those that want it, a "Fast Track" on the SAB OLD STYLE LTC Courses.  That is almost one a month, until June 2002.   The new Ranger Kids material is scheduled for release at National Council, March 2002.   As for the STANDARD OLD STYLE, we are sticking with our quarterly schedule of  offering* one course per quarter for 2002 and will take a look at 2003 later on.  The new material for Discovery & Adventure Rangers is not due out until March 2003.   We hope to be able to start teaching the NEW Ranger Basics by June 2002, as it will be released in March 2002. ( Due to the size of our District, it will take us a little time to get all of the Certified Instructors trained in all the new material.)  The Rangers Basics course is for anyone that has the OLD style LMA & once they have completed it, can wear the NEW style LMA.    * I say offering, as our District Policy sets a minimum of three students in order to hold a class.  We just canceled a Advanced course, due to lack of interest.   Jim Hufferd Sectional Commander North San Joaquin Section So California.
