NATIONAL CAMPORAMA WEB SITE
The 2012 National Camporama web site is now online. To find out the latest details on the 2012 Camporama, including registration information, promotion resources, etc., go to www.nationalcamporama.com. We also have a limited amount of stress balls with the 2012 Camporama logo to help your promotion. If you are interested, please contact JR Whinery at the national Royal Rangers office. The 2012 Camporama will be the biggest and best yet. It is also being held in conjunction with our 50th anniversary! Make plans now to attend the event July 9-13, 2012!
CHARTERING
The 2010-2011 chartering season starts on August 15 and runs until October 31. Charter your outpost as soon as possible during this time in order to continue receiving your outpost’s 15% discount on Ranger gear from the online Ranger Superstore. The chartering process has many new enhancements this year, including the requirement that outposts enter contact information for all leaders. This was a popular request we received from many district directors at Council this year. Chartering brochures have been revised. If you need chartering brochures for your districts, please contact JR Whinery at the national Royal Rangers office.
ROYAL RANGERS DAY AT SILVER DOLLAR CITY
We have partnered with Silver Dollar City to honor Royal Rangers with a special, fun-filled day! Royal Rangers Family Day at Silver Dollar City is Saturday, October 23, 2010. Admission prices to Silver Dollar City for Royal Rangers and their families is $30.57 for adults and $28.32 for children (tax inclusive), which reflect a savings of $20 per adult and $15 per child. This special price is ONLY for Royal Rangers and their families. Admission prices also INCLUDE an activity patch and lunch from 11:00 am–12:00 pm at Lumbercamp. Plan to meet your friends and members of the national Royal Rangers staff there for lunch. Silver Dollar City will also be offering various classes for Royal Rangers and their families, such as Roller Coaster Physics, the Art of Leather, and Candy Creations just to name a few. Space is limited and some classes have nominal fees.

RRI TRANSLATION PROJECT
If you made a pledge to the Royal Rangers International translation project on behalf of your district, please remember to keep that commitment in the minds of your outposts during district events and through district correspondence. If you did not make one at Council, it’s not too late! If you are not sure about how much you pledged or if you want to make a new pledge, please contact our office! The RRI translation project is targeting some new languages this year—Chinese, French, Malagasy, Russian, and Portuguese. RRI wants to make Royal Rangers easier and more enjoyable for children around the world by having everything in their language.

NATIONAL RANGER MINISTRY CAMP
The new NRMC (National Ranger Ministry Camp) is available this year. This camp will give instruction in basic outdoor skills and activities providing leaders with the skills needed to take their Rangers on exciting outpost activities outside the normal weekly meeting times. Instruction in effectively implementing the team/patrol method will be offered as a means to facilitate junior leadership development. Also, leaders will be challenged to connect with God and explore spiritual manhood. It will count toward the current LMA (Leaders Medal of Achievement) or the “TRAINED” level of the new Rangers Ministry Academy and will go toward the new Leaders Medal of Excellence. Be among the first to experience this new training event.
Thank you for the great response we are having for WCO this year. Please continue to promote the events still scheduled in your area.
Please post national training events on your district web sites and promote them at your upcoming events. You can reach the leaders that need this training, and together we can make these events successful.
CHARTERING
The 2010-2011 chartering season is just around the corner. The new chartering brochure is available for download at the national ministry web site. Any outposts that charter between now and August 15 will only be paying for a partial year as the charter will expire on August 31, 2010. Outposts will need to recharter again between August 15 and October 31 to ensure their charter benefits, including the 15% discount on Rangers gear ordered via the online super store, are not interrupted. The national office will be mailing these brochures out later this month to churches to serve as a reminder to charter.
