The Ranger Code says that a Royal Ranger does not lie. The 10 Commandments
tell us not to bear false witness. Thus, why would we make up a charge
against someone and find them guilty, regardless of the truth, just for the
sake of "entertainment"?
I personally do not feel that Kangaroo Courts have any place in Royal
Rangers, as it sets the wrong example for boys.
