Hi Allen,

That depends on the kind of 'problems' he's causing. If the problem was a
christian t-shirt, a bible on a teacher's desk or a pocket-knife in a
student's car (these all are things nobody would regard as a problem here in
Germany) I would not think he's a bad role model. If there were problems
with his behaviour in school I'd probably talk to him about him being a role
model for younger rangers.
> How would you feel if you spotted one of your Rangers wearing a ranger

That would depend on the situation. In our outpost we have one trailranger
who is smoking. When we handed out the announcements of this year's summer
campout we told him to read the rules before enrolling. We told him if
anyone saw him smoking or just with cigarettes we would call his parents to
remove him from our camp.
So if I met a ranger in a situation like this I probably would first talk to
him about what he is doing.
> A Royal Ranger is a Royal Ranger when he is at home, school, and church.
Amen. Royal Rangers is not a club (like a sports club etc.), Royal Rangers
is a mode of living.
> Are the standards we teach for church only?
No. See: the Ranger pledge
