The Commander, is the "key man" in Royal Rangers. The effectiveness of the Royal Ranger Outpost depends on this volunteer- his understanding of Royal Rangers, on his enthusiasm and energy, HIS TESTIMONY OF FAITH and on the quality of his efforts. He shows the Outpost and the patrols the way ahead, promotes leadership through the delegation of authority and as each boy leader understands his role and acts, the Outpost will thrive! The Commanders job isn't easy! But it isn't impossible either... especially if he has other assistants called Lt. Commanders, and interested Fathers of the Rangers... Mom's too! To become a successful Commander does not require hours of effort planning and sweating the details of organizing everything! The Commanders job is to train his Outpost to develop boy leaders who run THEIR outpost, NOT to run HIS OUTPOST.. Thier outpost.... *By placing the leadership where it belongs... with the Rangers you will have plenty of time to plan other events ahead, and the chance to do your real job of getting close to the heart and mind of each Ranger. Further... you don't have to become an EXPERT! <G> Discovering skills together through the use of effective demonstrations in the meeting or at a camp event is an excellent way to learn, for both you and the Rangers! A Commanders job is to help boys grow mentally, spiritually, physically and socially by encouraging them to learn for themselves, NOT instructing individual boys in Ranger skills! Be the Leader who *points the way.... Let the Boy Leaders have some fun!<G> The boys want you there... so be there for them! (-=A=- smhb '68)
