What is Royal Rangers?

Meeting the needs of today's boys
Royal Rangers is a dynamic outdoor camping program for boys. Weekly meetings include games, stimulating program periods where we learn about camping in the great outdoors and inspirational devotions - where we connect to God in a meaningful and relevant way.

Designed to meet the physical, spiritual, mental and social needs of boys in today's fast paced and technological world, Our ultimate goal is to help boys recognize and assume their place of leadership among their peers as responsible followers of Jesus Christ. Our Mission - Won't you be a part of it?

Mentoring tomorrow's leaders
We recognize that the boys we reach today will be the leaders of tomorrow! Dedicated leaders provide the necessary direction and coaching during weekly meetings. These meetings are designed to develop each boy through achievement, competition, love, acceptance and understanding between Rangers and godly role models.

Worldwide program
Rangers runs in suburbs and towns right across Pennsylvania, and indeed right around the world. Royal Rangers operates in nearly 70 nations around the world.
