RR Sel #6 18th Anniversary! By: The Boss No comments

On the 18th of Sept 2005, Royal Rangers Selangor #6 reached yet another milestone as she celebrated her 18th Anniversary! Truly, God has been good throughout the years and rest assured that God will give Rangers many many more years ahead!

There was a good vibe and a sense of excitement in the faces of every ranger that morning. The day began with a formal procession during morning worship service, led by Cmdr. Kenny and rangers from each age group. The Rangers Pledge was led by our outpost mascot, the 'oh-so-cute' ranger Lucas Chee, and the Christian pledge was recited by our very own ranger Michelle. Both of them clearly represented what our outpost is...fun-loving, vibrant, confident, and ready to take on the world!

Having lunch together as one big rangers family always gets me excited. Menu for the day...our good ol' Chicken Rice! Dont we just love it? And for the ranger Kids...a happy meal! Sausages, fried, nuggets...what a treat! You could even see how come of the commanders tried to get their hands on the happy meal...:) All in all, lunch was good and hearty!

The council of achievement...every ranger's moment. A time for recognition, sharing in their joy, feeling a sense of accomplishment. This time around, more than 70 rangers received their merits. 3 Adventure Rangers, ranger Kevin Wong, Jarrod Phuan, and Silas Sandra became the first in our church to receive the Bronze Medal. Congrats, lads! Almost 7 new leaders were installed and promoted to Outpost, Lieutenant and Junior Commanders. They all received their leader's charge and were presented with their leader's bar, signalling their commitment and dedication to the Royal Rangers ministry and to the development of the lives of the rangers.

At the end of the day, it was a good time to reflect on God's faithfulness and goodness throughout the year. 18 years ago, I can still remember coming to Rangers, in the old wodden building of our church, listening to our first Buckaroo commander Desmond teaching us the Royal Rangers pledge, playing the guitar and leading us in songs and games, making us feel like we were in the 'Wild wild west'...it wasn't in vain. 18 years down the road, many of us here stand as a testament and the fruit of their labours...

God bless you 'al...
