Royal Rangers History

there is a new web site dedicated to Ranger history! It is run by North Texas District

http://royalrangershistory.org/index.htm


Check it out

It looks like it's going to be a nice site.

Must still be a work-in-progress, because I see that some of the linked pages aren't operational, yet.

yes it does look unfinished, but what they have done looks nice   

It would be a good idea to look at what was printed because in the past we had some folks from that state that had a skewed view of past history of the Ranger Program so much so they had a total change of command there.

Some folks want to rewrite the history of the US and we hear about it all the time. I have seen the same thing happen in religious circles. That includes Jehovah's Witnesses and Assemblies of God. GRIN!

I have found that we need to test the waters to see if they are sound and if they line up. Some folks have no problem remembering things the way they want them to be.

Look it up and see what several say about something. Then you might get a consenses of what happened. GRIN!

Yea like that JB article on "Why Camping?" blows Doug's reasoning that it was just because it was the most widely enjoyed activity for men and boys in the 1960s. How would Doug know about JB's reasoning he was never a USA Royal Rangers as a boy.

"The son of missionaries, Doug was born in Peru and raised in Bolivia."

Well, I don't want to kick him on the way out, but that may go a long way toward explaining why he has been so much against the "traditions" of Rangers that pay homage to our U.S. Military Heritage, and wanting to change them.

A Royal Ranger needs to like camping. If he doesn't he throws most of the Ranger Program out with the kids.  With out camping Royal Rangers is a Sunday School Classroom. The other tracks like woodworking, arts, computers, sports don't compare with Camping. I use all of them but camping is a fundemental the rest are suplimentary.
