Last night the Royal Ranger Outposts gathered together at Pango FWC for their last meeting for 2010. The new Shefa Committee have clear vision for 2011 and beyond, it did us good to see their passion to Reach, Teach, and Keep Boys and Girls for Jesus. More groups are now including girls and this is a good move.
Two Outpost Ranger of the Year Medals were awarded, both these Rangers showed great excitement when their names were announced.
Russell’s talk centred on the Eight Blue Points on the Royal Ranger Emblem. (The Royal Ranger Code).
A Royal Ranger is:
Alert: Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually.
Clean: in body, mind and speech.
Honest: does not lie, cheat or steal.
Courageous: Brave in spite of danger, criticism or threats.
Loyal: Faithful to his church, family, outpost and friends.
Courteous: Polite, kind and thoughtful.
Obedient: Obeys his/her parents, leaders and those in authority.
Spiritual: Prays, reads the Bible and witnesses.
This was also our farewell with Royal Rangers Vanuatu. Russell has now stepped down from his position of Director. Royal Rangers now under the National Youth Director, and each province under a Province Commander.
We praise God that we have been part of re-establishing Royal Rangers in the nation of Vanuatu with a local indigenous curriculum and program and that he has raised up local leaders to take our place.
