New York District Royal Rangers

It is the Senior Commander's responsibility of Chartering and re-chartering his outpost each year.

Each district has there month for chartering. Along with your Charter, send your Outpost Annual Report.

If you have organized a group of Royal Rangers and have not yet chartered, it is extremely important to charter for these reasons:

1. To receive National recognition and an attractive charter certificate to display in the outpost meeting room. The national office will add your group to the national mailing list to receive important and timely information.

2. To receive official membership cards. Boys and leaders must obtain membership cards before they wear the Royal Rangers uniform.

3. To receive the quarterly publication, High Adventure Leader. This magazine contains up-to-date information, ideas, announcements of national events, and devotionals which are vital to the commander.

4. To receive a High Adventure bulk subscription for each boy from Buckaroos to Air, Sea, and Trail Rangers.

5. To receive a complimentary copy of the Royal Rangers Bible Study Lessons, Volume I for your outpost. This course contains 43 lessons and gives Bible instruction.

6. To receive a free official uniform booklet, the Royal Rangers Campfire Songs, order blank, catalog, and other helpful materials and brochures. Each group commander will be eligible to participate in the Outpost Commander's Award program.
