Royal Ranger's Fishing Trip and Upcoming Camp Out

The life group Royal Rangers (ages 6-12) meets on Wednesday night 7-8 p.m. at FLAG. The average attendance is 5-8 boys. There are 4 men leaders that are always there during the group's weekly time.

On Wednesday nights the group has been studying bible stories and lessons from the Old Testament. They are studying one book at a time and have studied 5-6 books so far. In the future there are plans to continue a study of the Old Testament and its prophets, such as Neamiha and men's activities.

“We are building leaders for tomorrow,” said Snider.
This summer the group has been trying to do more outdoor activities.

Earlier this summer the group took a fishing trip the evening of June 13th at George's pond (a private residence). In attendance were 6 boys, 1 girl (a ssister), 4 male leaders, and 2 fathers.

The group does activities like this because of the opportunities it provides.

“They (the activities) are a teaching time (for skills), wholesome together time, and a time to eat and play together, “said Steve Snider group leader.

Another activity that Royal Rangers did this summer is a bike trail to Wilderness Park.
An upcoming activity for the group is this coming weekend, a camp out, July 25-26. The festivities begin at 7pm Friday night and last until noon on Saturday. Required items include a sleeping bag and a flash light.

The camp out will be located directly behind FLAG. There will be games activities, food and drink. In case of rain the group will migrate into the church, The boys will learn night skills, and camping skills, and camp fire skills.

“It is a great group of boys!” said Snider. He also said he looks forward to seeing this group grow.
There is still time to join the group on the camp out this weekend! Call leader Steve Snider at 620-231-0158 for more information about the camp out, or for general information about the Royal Rangers group.
