Hi Jose, I gladly will answer your questions. At the same time I keep in mind your way of doing things in Rangers. If it would have started the same way it did over here I would not have to answer your questions. I am very thankful that Rangers took off first in the US and came our way.

Too much action and work to do. As I mentioned above, we teach the correct and biblical way of fellowship with the other sex we can trust our kids. It is only with kids that join Rangers at an older age that we have to present the bible way. But as a rule the Rangers regulate that in their own and better way than the adults. > 3.

We sometimes build satellite jurts where we camp right across from the other. But the boys want to be among themselves and so do the girls when we tent. > 4.

Doug Marsh has seen it work at Bundescamp so he could give you his perspective. Trust is everything. The kids live on that and so do the leaders. If you have a clear conscience that you are teaching them right, and be a good excample you only have to deal with a few exceptions. God bless you real good.
