North Texas Commanders Conference
May 17, 2008 - Bethel Church in Temple

Our annual Commanders Conference will be held at Bethel Church in Temple, TX on May 17. This year we are joining our Commanders Conference with a Children’s Ministries divisional training day, so there will be workshops throughout the day for Girl’s Ministries leaders and Children’s Ministries leaders as well as Royal Rangers commanders. So if your spouse is involved in one of these other ministries, plan on coming together to this training day. (more…)

The Medical Release Form that was inclued in the previous post (South Ft. Worth ER Campout) is not the form needed for participating in the paintball activity at the district Lakeview campground.  Included in this post (as well as updated in the previous post) is the link for the correct Paintball Waiver^[1] form that must be filled out by each individual prior to being able to take part in the paintball activity.

Danny Tatum also needs a head count of those that are coming by May 10, so the staff can plan accordinly.  For more information on the event, please see the post South Ft. Worth ER Campout.  If you have any further questions, feel free to contact Danny Tatum at dtatum@royalrangers.net.

EDIT: This post has been edited to provide correct information and change the form that needs to be filled out.

The South Ft. Worth Section is planning an ER campout May 23-24, 2008. They are opening this event up to Expedition Rangers in the entire district. This campout will be held at Lakeview. From 9:00-11:00 AM, boys will have the opportunity to participate on the district paintball course. From 1:00-3:00 PM, boys will be able to have fun on the district water slides. We will be camping and eating our meals on the Rangers side. (more…)

Deadline for Commanders Award Applications

The deadline for submitting your application for your commander’s award – Outpost Commander’s Award, Outpost Leader’s Service Award, Senior Commander’s Award, Junior Leader’s Service Award, and Pastor’s Award – is March 15. A link to the applications and information about the requirements for these awards can be found on the district web site at http://ntd.royalrangers.net/Home/tabid/417/mid/1471/newsid1470/56/language/en-US/Default.aspx (more…)

If you haven’t already made plans to attend the Waco Section Round-Up, you should start considering soon. Round-Up this year is being held in Meridian, Texas, March 28-30. The pre-registration deadline is March 6 (meaning your pre-registrations must be postmarked by March 6). The cost for Round-Up is $30. However, if your church is chartered for the 2007-2008 charter, then you will receive a $5 discount per person, resulting in a registration fee of $25. This includes insurance, a patch, Round-Up T-shirt, park entrance fee, nature hike, Friday dinner, Saturday lunch, Saturday evening hot cocoa and marshmallow roast, and more. (more…)

I just contacted the national Royal Rangers office and negotiated an extension in the registration deadline for the Ranger Kids Training Conference (RKTC) that will be held in North Texas. The new registration deadline is March 10.

However, if you want the pre-registration discount of $25, your application still needs to be postmarked by this Friday, February 29. Applications are available from the national Royal Rangers web site at http://royalrangers.ag.org/training/registration/index.cfm (more…)

Greetings North Texas!

There have been some questions asked about the Brush Poppin’ next weekend regarding the invitation extended to all Royal Rangers whether you are FCF members or not, young or old… you are all welcome. The cost of non-members to attend will be $7 each. There will be a place for modern camping. There will be signs up to help you get to the camp area when you get close. The enclosed advertisement will give you the directions.^[1] (more…)

Commanders:

The deadline for RKTC is quickly approaching! Applications must be received by 2/29/08!

Currently only 2 applications have been received. We want this camp to “make.” RKTC can be used in place of NTC or the LTA campout. The one in North Texas will be over two Saturdays, which means little or no time taken off of work in order to attend. Please get your applications in ASAP! (more…)

Commanders,

It is now time to fill out your application for your 2007 commanders award. There is an award for everyone, and if you were doing an effective job in your position, it is very likely that you qualify for that award.

Some commanders fail to fill out the application for their award, either because they let the deadline pass, or they feel that they don’t need an award for doing their job. I can’t do anything the first reason, other than send our a notice like this. But let me encourage you to fill out the application for your service award and send it in. Your boys need to see you earning awards. We expect them to earn their awards; they need to see you doing the same.

Applications for the awards can all be found online at http://royalrangers.ag.org/applications/ (more…)
