2024 Contributor Patch

The requirements will remain the same for 2024 as they were for 2023. Please help us continue capturing Royal Rangers History.

The purpose of creating this patch was an idea to see if we can get leaders to start submitting any type of Royal Rangers historical items. As always, we are continuously looking for any Royal Rangers History. Some of the items we would like to concentrate on for 2024 include:

1. Event Photos
2. Event Packets and Flyers (Pow Wow, FCF Events, Derby, JLDA)
3. Staff Listings (both current and past) and District Calendars of Events
4. Publications (newsletters, flyers, posters)

Information/items from 2023 are especially wanted, so we can capture this history before it is gone.

This history can be for any level of Royal Rangers: Outpost, Section, District, Region, National, and International.

For 2024, the following criteria will determine if you earned a patch. However, please keep in mind that we receive a volume of information, and it is processed in a first come, first serve order. Therefore, if you submit something and it has already been submitted, it will not be counted toward your total.

When submitting your history, please make sure you let us know as much as you can about the item. We would like the following at a minimum: where it is from (district, section, outpost), name of event, and year. Please be as descriptive as you can be, and we will post the information online in the appropriate area of the History website.

The items for 2024 are (must complete 2 of the 4 categories):

1. Ten (10) event documents (current or past events)
   1. Clean scans required (PDF preferred)
   2. Documents must be completed.
   3. If a document has already been received, blurry, or if document is incomplete, it will not count.
   4. Identify the region/district/section where the item originated.
2. One (1) complete staff listing with the district or region identified. Please include the start date and end date for the position. If the position is current, please provide start date/year and say "current" (if still in position this year).
3. Twenty (20) photos of district, regional, or national items (like belt buckles, bolo ties, mugs, t-shirts, caps, etc.) not on the website. Anything Royal Rangers related is historical and it would be great to capture the above.
4. Twenty (20) missing patch images (or substantially better images than what we currently have)

The information you submit does not have to be from your district.  Search the internet and see what you can track down. However, information the history support team gathers does not count towards anyone’s totals. We are constantly scanning the Internet for items to add to the site. Everything to be considered must be emailed or mailed to us. Most times it will be posted quickly so you can validate the site before you submit.

Keep track of what you have submitted and when you feel you have met the requirements, please send your information to history@ntxrr.org .  Due to the volume, we rely on the person submitting the information to track when they have completed the requirements for the past and to submit it to us.

We only produce 100 contributor patches, and it is understood that everyone will not be able to receive a patch. Remember, the site is "Preserving History for Future Royal Rangers!" Please help us capture and preserve our history for future generations.

History Contributor Patch Starting for contributions made during 2019

(January 31, 2019)

We are currently working up requirements on how individuals can receive the 2019 RRH contributor patch. This is a limited patch that was produced so we will not have enough to last all year. There were only 100 produced.

We are currently working on the final details on how individuals can receive one, however it will require more than just a couple of images. We are looking for content and wanting to recognize those who contribute to capturing RR history for future leaders to reference.

The one thing we have discussed is that contributions would need to made during the year on the patch (2019). There is lots of information out there so it will not be hard for those truly wanting to receive a patch to start gathering documents, patches, staff listings, etc. from their districts or other districts. We ask that anything be submitted is named appropriately (district, event, year, etc.).  With the volume of information we receive, we will not have time to research where the information is representing. We know there are some who have contributed in the past, but this is a new encouragement for 2019. Take a look at your district page and see what you have to contribute. We know information exists out there so please do not hold back.  Feel free to fill up our inbox (history@ntxrr.org). Please send high resolution images if they are photos, patches, etc.

As you look thru the site, if you see subjects or areas we are missing, let us know and we can modify pages quickly. What is out here so far is just the start.

Watch for more details soon.

 

2016, 2017, and 2018

We would like to thank everyone who helped get this site up to date by sending information. Without you, we would not have as much information as leaders and boys are looking for.
