Well all that makes sence to me along with the tall tale that Royal Rangers needs MEN ONLY and not all adults (Parents First) to be facilitators of a great *program/ministry.
"Leadership" needs to shift to the boys. The greatest "Tall Tail" is that there is a paramilitary ranking system in place that puts Royal Ranger under a Domination code of top-down leadership with the boys at the bottom... This has led to a "personality cult" of entrenchment. The way to fix that is by HONORING everyone for who they are.
