Hey guys! My name’s Xing Yi and I’m going to talk about my experiences in Royal Rangers!

So technically I have been in Rangers for approximately 10 years now. started when i was 5, and now I’m 15 years old! To start this off, i would like to explain to you what Royal Rangers is. Royal Rangers is a mentoring program that provides Christlike character formation and servant leadership development for ages as young as 5 to 17 in a highly relational and fun environment.

In Rangers, everything is done in a really friendly environment ; around amazing and friendly people. The things done in Rangers go from bible studies trto getting your merits done! There are several groups a ranger will be in. Starting with Ranger Kids (from ages 5-9) to Discovery Rangers (ages 9-11) then Adventure Rangers (ages 12-14) and after that to Expedition Rangers (ages 15-17).

Now back to my experiences in rangers. As i started at the age of 5, i was in Ranger Kids. I didn’t like it at first to be honest because i didn’t know anybody there and i was a really shy kid (still am by the way). I stopped Rangers for a week or two but came back in after that. Made some friends and that was where all the fun began. There was the running, chasing, colouring, memorising bible verses. That was seriously all the fun.

When I came up to Discovery, some harder work was given. This doesn't mean the fun stopped though. The new level of fun came in which was something that might be familiar to you. CAMPS. My first ever camp was to Camporama 2009. Going to that camp was an amazing experience for anyone who likes the outdoors and like well the jungle. There was tons of really interesting and very enjoyable games ; some individual, others in groups.

I really enjoy going to camps, especially Outpost Camps. It brings tons of joy to everyone who goes for them. You get to learn how to cook or lash and a bunch of other skills. Lets not forget about the games and competitions though.

Now stop wait a minute, i also have learned tons of amazing bible lessons from rangers! Like when Noah built the ark or when Abraham led the israelites out of Egypt. It’s not that i don't know but i actually get to understand them a lot better.

As a conclusion, rangers really can shape people up. Not really in a physical way (that can work too, either way) but more in a way on how we think. How we look at things around us.

Indeed Royal Rangers provide Christlike character formation and servant leadership development for boys and girls in a highly relational and fun environment.  Our mission is to evangelize, equip, and empower the next generation of Christlike men and women and lifelong servant leaders. Here's to building many more generations for His kingdom!
