| Adventurers from the past
include men like Christopher Columbus, who sailed west
into uncharted waters to get to India and discovered the
American continents; Nicolaus Copernicus, who developed
a new theory about the arrangement of our universe; and
Jedidiah Strong Smith, who explored the wilds of
America's western frontier. These are men who inspire us
all to probe and expand our horizons.
As Adventure Rangers, sixth-, seventh-,
and eighth-grade young men have the chance to do as
these men. A Ranger is one who explores new frontiers,
so the Adventure Ranger will explore new areas as he
learns the
history of Royal Rangers and takes advantage of
opportunities for the future. |
