The Royal Rangers program provides leader training to mobilize, inspire, and resource leaders to achieve their greatest success and effectiveness. Royal Rangers training is based on three core values:
Spiritual Development. All classroom and event-based leadership training will have a spiritual emphasis.
Ranger Skills Development. Training will focus on the seven methods Royal Rangers use to minister to boys. Ranger skills are a key component of this success.
Leadership Development. Leadership development will be key as Royal Rangers moves to become a boy led, adult facilitated ministry.
It takes a leader to mentor new leaders. Training will help Royal Rangers strengthen its leadership core.
Church leadership believes that well trained leaders are the key to any ministry's success. Pastors understand that a trained volunteer is much more likely to commit
their time and can be counted on to show up every week. For these reason, and others, the Royal Rangers program places a high priority on leader training.
NATIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
National Rangers Ministry Conference
NRMC provides outpost leaders with instruction in performing their role in an outpost.
Participants are introduced to the following activities: Archery, arts, air gun, computers, drama, music, team building initiatives, trades, and Ranger Derby.
Additionally, participants experience what it means to be a boy-lead, adult-facilitated outpost, using the team/patrol system.
Most importantly, participants are challenged spiritually to live a life of godly manhood and servant leadership.
Every leader will be able to answer the question, “Do I have what it takes to be a godly man?”
National Elementary Education Conference
NEEC is an interactive event that gives men and women leaders training in various techniques and methods to effectively teach and mentor boys.
Leaders will explore the development and needs of the elementary age group, with Ranger Kids as the main focus.
Attendees will gain a better understanding of the needs and characteristics of boys so you can better relate and connect with them.
World Class Outpost Seminar
The WCO seminar is designed to expose the outpost leadership team to a successful
set of practices, methods, strategies, and tools that will enable them to develop into a World Class Outpost.
The greatest benefit of this event is achieved when the outpost/church leadership attends and completes this event together as a team.
Johnnie Barnes Excellence Initiative
The JBEI seminar will stretch you and your organizational leadership team.
You will be challenged to embrace new leadership behaviors and attitudes. Though counter-intuitive, you will discover freedom
by embracing limits that lead to greater influence and effectiveness. You will also receive tools to continually improve upon past performance and reach new goals.
This conference is recommended for all regional, district/network, divisional, or sectional staff, those in ministry, or those completing the
Organizational Leadership Training (OLT) Track (JBEI satisfies the final requirement for completion of the PLATINUM OLT level).
District leaders are encouraged to ask potential or new organizational leaders to attend this seminar shortly before or after appointing them to their first post of service.
All organizational leaders should attend the seminar every 5 years to refresh their knowledge on current leadership topics.
OUTPOST LEADER ADVANCMENT LEVELS
The Outpost Leader Advancement Levels (OLAL) process represents a comprehensive system of adult leader training,
combining both district and national training events to equip leaders with the skills they need to be an effective leader in the local outpost.
The OLAL process includes four levels of training that provides leaders with a complete knowledge of the tools and resources available to them and their outpost.
Each training level requires the completion of specified training events as well as practical application requirements,
know as a "training ticket". Requirements for the training ticket are completed by the leader on his own after the related training event.
It is recommend that these requirements be completed within six months of the completion of the event. Click here for more information
ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING LEVELS
The purpose of Royal Rangers Organizational Leadership Training is to challenge individuals in positions of service beyond the
local level to grow spiritually, to develop well-rounded ministry competencies, and to enhance their leadership aptitudes.
All organizational leaders are encouraged to begin in this training process as soon as possible following their appointment.
