With National Rendezvous fast approaching, reemmber to send us your information from the event. Whether it is FCF members in their outfits, competition photos, event patch images, event winners, or just your historical write up about Rendezvous, please send it to history@ntxrr.org Posting all you have will show others what they can expect at future Rendezvous and what they missed at the 2024 National Rendezvous.
Site Support:
This site is managed by the North Texas Royal Rangers on behalf of and is the exclusively authorized history site of the national Royal Rangers ministries office, Springfield, MO. Contacts for this site include Mark Oliver and Jonathan Trower.
Since July 2012, this site has been the official national Royal Rangers office effort to capture and provide history of Royal Rangers for future generations of Royal Rangers. As those who started the Royal Rangers ministry age, we want to capture their knowledge and artifacts now, before they are lost forever.
History can be mailed to Jonathan Trower / Mark Oliver, PO Box 614, Hewitt, TX 76643 or emailed to history@ntxrr.org.
Patches
Most events in Royal Rangers create a patch or medallion to represent the event. These patches are traded around the United States and World.
These patch manuals we are keeping up to date as the website is updated with patches. This is our first release of them. They will change in the future but are updated regularly as people share patch scans with us.
