With this thought in mind .... What is the difference between your Royal
Rangers and your Sunday School Class? I see none.
Our Sunday school took the kids fishing a few weeks back. They get
prizes for stuff. They hear the Gospel every week. Wonder why they call
it sunday school and not Royal Rangers?

Royal Rangers do both.

The pastor has no reason to wear a Royal Ranger Uniform. Rangers do.
Advancements, Merits, Outtings, Pow Wows, CPR, FIRST AID, God and Me, God
and Chruch and a whole bunch of other symbols of accomplishment. Rank.
The patrol system. Each one of these things taugth the RR way directs
a boy or young man to Christ. Each one of these a boy or young man or
commander can wear on his Uniform to show his accomplishments and his
maturity Metnally, Physically, Socially and Sprititually.
How can you encouarage the above with out the Uniform.
Never. I'm not trying to inflame anyone, but guys (and

Brother I am not trying to inflame you but you need to reread the Royal
Rangers Leaders Manual. Just like the Bible..if you choose to pick and
choose what you wish to believe then that is your choice but don't call
it Royal Rangers if it is Sunday School there is a BIG difference. Both
ministries direct people of all ages to Christ but are vastly different
in their program.
I have made mistakes in the past and will continue to do so in the
future. Read that RR manual again and again there are alot of years of
Godly wisdom there. Sometimes I have to relearn that information time an
d time again...but it is indeed a Holy Ghost inspired program and
Uniforms are a very important part of that inspiration.
Keep reaching, teaching and KEEPING our boys for Christ!
