We have several national training camps for leaders scheduled for our region in 2009. Applications for all of these camps, plus others, are available on the national Royal Rangers web site.

• World Class Outpost seminar is designed to expose the outpost leadership team to a successful set of practices, methods, strategies, and tools that will enable them to develop into a “World Class Outpost.” The outpost leaders are encouraged to attend and complete this event together. We have two WCOs scheduled in our region for the rest of 2009:
  • Ft. Worth, Texas February 27-28
  • Ruidoso, New Mexico April 17-18
  • Wichita, Kansas August 14-15
  • Oklahoma City, September 18-19
• Ranger Kids Training Conference is designed to give leaders training in various techniques and methods of leadership. Leaders will also receive training in various aspects of the Ranger Kids ministries.
  • Ruidoso, New Mexico October 2-4
• National Training Camp is designed to give leaders professional training in camping and leadership, plus the opportunity of outstanding fellowship and adventure in the outdoors.
  • Chandler, Oklahoma July 9-12
• Advanced National Training Camp is designed to provide Royal Rangers leaders with additional training beyond that offered at the National Training Camp and will help inspire leaders to greater involvement in the Royal Rangers ministry. A leader must have attended National Training Camp before enrolling.
  • Waxahachie, Texas November 5-8
• National Training Trails allows leaders to participate in outstanding, rugged outdoor activities surrounded by some of America’s most beautiful scenery. Leaders will be on the trail 4 exciting days, carrying all their gear and food in backpacks.
  • Salt Flat, Texas December 3-6

Because of forthcoming changes in the national training program, 2009 will be the last opportunity for anyone to attend NTC or ANTC, so if you have been putting off attending one or more of these camps, 2009 needs to be the year for you to attend. New national camps will be released in 2010 from the national Royal Rangers office.
