Merit Camp 2023 Recap: The annual 2023 Merit Camp was held the weekend of 24-25 February at the conference campgrounds. Four Outposts (Mt. Zion, North Pointe, Redland and Triangle Christian Center and others) with attendance of 40 attending, completed requirements for the Air Gun Safety, Marksmanship and BB Gun merits. The weekend always also includes not only the learning aspect of skills to improve each boy and man but the time bonding together with Royal Ranger friends and beginning stronger and new friendships. Most of all we are here first and foremost for JESUS and discipling these boys and men to build HIS Kingdom!!! We are always amazed to see what God is doing within these boys and men and as our commission continues to reach the communities, state, nation and world as commanded by Jesus!!!
Note the following are the two main upcoming activities for your Royal Rangers and Boys Ministries:
Ranger Kids, Daisies and Prims Field Day: Saturday, 20 May, North Pointe PH Church, High Point: The weekend typically has an overnighter and held the first weekend of June. However, due to schedule conflicts with the scheduled Quadrennial Conference on Saturday, 3 June, the activity this year will be confined to the field day on Saturday and the different location as noted. The theme this year is one of our rotating themes of Frontiersman Camping. We will begin registration around 9am Saturday morning with Frontiersman theme activities continuing through early afternoon ending with lunch and group time of devotion and final group activity. NOTE any and all girls and boys ministries within the kindergarten through second grade are welcome to attend.
2023 National Camporama: Make plans now and reserve the time on your calendars for the 2023 National Camporama to be held 11-15 July 2023 at the Cornerstone Conference Campgrounds for another historical time together!!! Details, registration forms and information, etc. to be completed and distributed soon in early 2023.
