2010 LARR Adventure Trail - Chicot State Park

Three outpost brought guys to experience this year's Adventure Trail. Chicot State Park provides a medium challenge hiking trail. The guys camped right at the edge of the lake with all the night creatures looking on. We brought in the canoes Saturday morning and after lunch headed out braving strong wind gusts. We passed large alligators along the way and many varieties of water foul. All the guys (and gals - Katie came with her dad Dennis ,and Maegn came down Saturday morning to finish the day hike and be my bowman for the canoe jount) had and exciting time. Andrew and Loren Klein opted to hike all the way back to the starting point instead of taking the canoes. Getting ready for this year's STT at Academy.

2010 ICS

This past weekend Ranger leaders from all across Louisiana converged at the Assemblies of God state office to update their skills as instructors and as local leaders. Royal Rangers is undergoing another morph in its training and equipping of leaders as well as boys and young men. The new interactive Ranger Basics puts aside the fill-in-the-blank style of learning for more involvement type training. The very new Ranger Essentials follows this same course. Enjoy the pics.

2010 National Royal Rangers Conference

Yep, it is a conference now, not a council. Not a single thing voted on. That's OK since we were jam packet with updates and reminders as well as new ministry tools. The Excellence Initiative was a whirlwind informative day and half of dynamic challenges for the Royal Rangers ministry. We will be spending the rest of the year tooling out its impact for Louisiana.
Enjoy the pics of the conference. Check out our Face Book page David Lee Craun for more pics. Stephens Ernsts has some good pics as well on his Face Bood page.

Wow! What a time of encouragement, fellowship, inspiration, and Spirit led direction. Twenty some local, sectional, and district Royal Rangers met with Commander Craun Friday night to share their heart and where they were in the Rangers ministry. This was so exciting to see the passion of these leaders to evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of young men and boys for Christ.
