Royal
Rangers Events
Royal Rangers offers national
events and outpost,
section and district events to fulfill the natural yearning
of boys for the great outdoors. Camping is an effective way to
accomplish the
basic
love
that
boys
have for physical activity and adventure. Under properly trained
leadership, camping can be used to help develop the boys into
dedicated Christian men.
National Events
National Camporama is an
exciting event held every four years. It offers Rangers and Commanders
many opportunities for fun, adventure, and spiritual growth.
Each Camporama brings thousands of boys and leaders from throughout
the United States and around the world to Camp Eagle Rock, Missouri.
They hear great speakers, participate in a variety of activities,
and enjoy a fantastic camping event. Get more information about
Camporama here.

(FCF),

Rendezvous. The National Rendezvous is held on the even-numbered
years between Camporamas. There, FCF members learn more advanced
outdoor
skills

in frontier
excitement.
