I have been considering adding changeable Ranger Buck fields to the Quarterly point from in the Ranger Database. It does the same thing you are wanting as far as tallying points..its the job of the patrol guides to get the patrol scribe to get it done. At the same time Ranger Bucks can be scored along with it. I have been thinking this over just haven't added it yet. At this time the patrol scribe is tallying the weekly points and the Group commander is tallying and giving out the Ranger Bucks. The two work great now but I need to figure out a form for the bucks. I orginally didn't think we needed to track the Ranger Bucks ..but our Group commander wants to track it... so he is doing it. The form for the boys is a 3 month quarterly point form. I has each week on it and all the colums the boys get scored on. The Ranger Database will create one for your boys with your outposts name and number on it. http://readyrangers.tzo.com middle of the page.

It works this way; you would track the progress of each boy individually, and at the end of the month you would decide who has the highest score (or say more Ranger bucks)..to be the "Ranger of the month". This could also be done by patrols. And as a way of recognition, you would put the picture of these great achievers on the face of the Ranger bucks, maybe the picture of the best patrol on the other side. Perhaps you can do it by levels, say first place get to be on the $20 bill, second place on the $10, and third place on the $5 bill, this way the boys have more opportunities to win....Here is a link of two files I uploaded as s! amples. Here is a link that can give you an idea of what I'm talking about. The picture of the ranger on the back of the bill is an ancient picture of me (back in the days when snakes used to talk and walk in two feet :) The front face of the bill has a picture of my outpost, also quite a while ago... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/royalrangers/files/ Trying to track the origins of the Ranger buck program, I came across this website. I wonder if this has anything to do with RR... http://behavior.org/journals_BAD/V2n3/digest_V2n3_bucks.cfm I also had thought about a program to recognize leaders; something like the "Commander of the month" or something of that effect. I'm still thinking about the criteria for evaluating leaders...any ideas? As you can see, I truly believe that recognizing people encourages them to excel in what they do. However, I also know that we don't do what we do for the sake of recognition, but for the Kingdom of God, and for His glory. BTW, for those of you who are not very familiar with the Ranger Bucks program, you can download it from Commander Mark's website: http://readyrangers.tzo.com/index.html (All the way to the bottom of the webpage) Any ideas and additional input are greatly appreciated, Manuel H.

Greetings Merry Christmas to you too, Mark. And, thank you for the great cursor; I downloaded it and I love it! BTW, I want tou to know that ever since I implemented the Ranger bucks pro! gram in my outpost (using your program) the boys seem to be a lot more motivated to do many things that otherwise they wouldn't try to do on their own. Keep up the good work bro! Manuel H. Outpost 131 & 135 NJ Mark Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks for the Neat E-Card. I enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!
