Royal Rangers

Junior Training Academy

 We have an exciting set of Junior Camps planned for 2009. 

Overview
To begin the Junior Leadership Training Academy series, a boy must be at least an Adventure Ranger.  The Junior Training Camp is the first camp that must be completed (required for all others). 

Saber Award
When an Adventure/Expedition Ranger has completed Junior Training Camp, Advanced Junior Training Camp, and three other Junior Camps (a total of five camps), he earns a saber acknowledging his accomplishment.

The Junior Camp Registration Packet contains detailed information on the entire Junior Camp program as well as registration forms for all the camps.  It also includes the leader registration form.

Ten boys completed the camp.  See the history page for photos.
