This is taken from an information booklet I received at National Training Camp: "PURPOSE: To give leaders opportunity for: training in camp skills, leadership development, outstanding fellowship, and adventure in the out-of-doors, a new vision of the great potential of the Royal Rangers ministry, ideas for teaching and administration, more involvement in service, analyzing personal strengths and weakness - plus self-improvement [corrected portion] tips, and 'seeing the program from a boy's viewpoint'." The camp functioned as a large outpost. It was divided into eight patrols. The postions of guide and asst guide rotated everyday. We were the boys and the Staff were the commanders. Again, it was from a boy's viewpoint. After being taught, we did almost everything on our own. NTC/ANTC gives us the tools/knowledge to 'guide' the boys into leading themselves. That is with supervision. If you haven't been to the National Training Camp, I recommend you go. You'll get a totally different perspective on the outpost and patrol system. In addition, like we had at NTC '99 in Maryland, you may experience revival.
