Consider that Royal Rangers is not "just" an American program/ministry
anymore.
Rangernet has strong elements of International flavor, where
the diverse flavors of the lifetime adventure join in fellowship.
The wearing of a US Flag allows you the distinction of maintaining the
unique US traditions of Royal Rangers being about the Man/Boy
relationship.
It indicates that you are a part of: Royal Rangers of America!
Voteing on the changes is not our right or privlage, as we are
under the dominate leadership of the general Council of the Assemblies
of God who appoint our Leadership, and endorce the re-design to
meet a changeing master plan. To the extent possible, our National
Leaders have asked and recieved your input on the changes and bent
over backward to preserve the best of the past, *However.. Democrocy
has never been a policy of the NRRC<G>
On the positive, Let the boys decide if they can embrace the
changes and join in the great adventure. The "agreement" we
seek is for them to flurish, and in their success we stand united.
