  ROYAL RANGERS ALUMNI

The RRA exists for the purpose of mobilizing former or retired Royal Rangers leaders so that they may continue their involvement in the ministry, and to provide opportunities for fellowship and ministry with other members of the RRA. Leaders who reach the age of retirement often undergo medical trials or face other difficulties. They can easily begin to feel unneeded by the Royal Rangers ministry. The truth is they have a wealth of knowledge and experience. Many are willing and able to serve on a limited basis. The RRA provides the means whereby these leaders can remain active within their own time and physical constraints. Their continued ministry is a great asset to Royal Rangers and provides each individual much needed fellowship, prayer, and support.
