October is fast approaching and the first full week in October each year is National Royal Rangers Week.  This is a time when many churches across the country, and indeed around the world, recognize the Royal Rangers ministry in a special way. Often, churches will recognize Royal Rangers during a service, or an outpost will have a special campout or plan a special community outreach. The week is a great time to promote Royal Rangers both inside AND outside of the local church environment.

In conjunction with National Royal Rangers Week, the following Friday and Saturday have been designated as the National Prayer Vigil.

The national office has prepared a list of ten things your church can do to promote Royal Rangers during National Royal Rangers Week. The list is not all inclusive. The ideas to promote Royal Rangers in your community are only limited by your imagination! Please click here to download the list.
