Aviation Ground School

This camp never happened. Paul Stanek tried to conduct it on three separate occasions. It canceled all three times due to low or no interest. No patch or insignia was ever produced (based on our research). The idea was to be an introductory training to set one on the path to becoming an FAA Certified Pilot and earn their wings. The book training was to be conducted in the Johnnie Barnes Lodge and the flight training was going to be conducted out on Racehorse Meadow. Sever leaders who owned their own planes were going to be instructors for the camp, bring their planes, and provide live instruction on take off and landing in Racehorse Meadow. In 1991, 2-3people signed up but not enough to hold the camp. (Anthony Hubbard was one of the ones who signed up and provided this summary).

You will also receive tools to continually improve upon past performance and reach new goals. 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.

National Rangers Ministry Camp (NRMC)

NRMC provides instruction in leading exciting outpost activities. Each man will be introduced to the following activities: archery, art, air rifle, contemporary camping, 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.

Every leader will be able to answer the question, “Do I have what it takes to be a godly man?”
