I agree with Rick -- during the next two years we have a tremendous
opportunity to reach boys for Christ -- why sit around waiting for the new
program?
As far as training goes, the proposal that the national executive committee
accepted (at least in principle) and that was presented at the NRRC stated
that anyone with one of the current LMAs would be grandfathered -- even
under the new LTC you would have your LMA. However, the proposal calls for
a new LMA to be created for the new LTC, and if you want to wear the new
one, go take a one-day update course on the new program (everyone should
want to do this anyway). In no way are we trying to penalize anyone who
goes through the current training -- big chunks of the current LTC will
still be valid under the new program, just like a lot of what you have
learned over the years as a Royal Rangers commander will still be useful
and relevant.
