I don't agree with your thinking on this. You can what if yourself into
a corner. Either do Royal Rangers or have Romper Room. It is the same
with the bible. Cut out any part of it that you don't want to believe or
live and you end up being NOT what God intends in both situations.
Brothers and Sisters. Take the Leaders Manual read it from cover to
cover. It is filled with prayed over ideas and over 35 years of Godly
wisdom in it. It works to raise up a child in the way he should go as
well in all aspects of life. Do Royal Rangers. The Uniform is part of
the foundation of Royal Rangers. Without it your on shifting sand.
I can wear a Royal Ranger Tshirt and blue jeans and go all day without
anyone asking about Royal Rangers. If I put on the Royal Ranger Class B
Uniform at almost every place I stop on my way to and from Ranger
Activities people ask about the Uniform and what it stands for. Try it
and you will see.
