THANK-YOU Gary for your uplifting words.
I have been wanting to say something about the "Missioneers" comments
but held my tounge.. Both ministries have their place. Let me say this
from growing up in the missionette program I am very good camper(at least
that is what some RR commanders have said). As a matter of fact I have had
some Royal Ranger Commanders ask me questions about fire craft and camping.
Missionettes is more than a Sunday School class and some of our girls get
into the spirit of camping just like the boys. Not all the leaders keep
their clubs with in the walls of the church, some take their club camping,
hiking, canoeing, etc. So please be careful what you write.
