Royal Rangers
Royal Rangers - the trail to fun and adventure - is an exciting program for boys Kindergarten through 8th grade. Each church Royal Ranger group is called an "Outpost". Bethesda Community Church is Outpost #3 meaning we were the third Royal Ranger Outpost to form in the North Texas District of the Assemblies of God. Our program runs concurrent with the school year meeting every Wednesday night from 6:30 - 8 p.m. The boys gather by grade level to develop their interests, mold their character and earn merit awards in various life skills, Christian Service projects, and Bible Study. The age categories follow:
Ranger Kids - K - 2nd grade: Boys in this age group participate in a variety of fun and challenging activities which allows them to work through an exciting advancement program. Through interactive learning, Ranger Kids grow physically, spiritually, mentally and socially.
Discovery Rangers - Third, fourth and fifth grade: Discovery Rangers features a well-ordered curriculum designed to build a boy's confidence by mastering skills that will be useful for the rest of his life. In addition to weekly classroom activities campouts are planned throughout the year where the boys practice skills and develop friendships. All activities reinforce Christian values.
Adventure Rangers - Sixth, seventh and eighth grade: More challenging camping and outdoor activities are introduced to this age level with an emphasis on skill development, working as a team, and leadership training. Christian values are at the forefront of all activities.
Expedition Rangers - This age group is for the older boys who enjoy the camaraderie that has developed over their time in Royal Rangers and is a stepping stone into the Frontier Camping Fellowship - FCF. Emphasis is on working with and leading others in pursuit of following Christ.
