Chartering Your Outpost is Important!

Due to a rise in administrative and mailing costs that have occurred since the chartering dues were last changed over ten years ago, a chartering fee change was presented at the 2002 National Council and passed by the Royal Rangers Executive Committee. As of January 1, 2003, the national chartering dues change to $8.00 for each boy and $10.00 for each leader. The change in dues will affect all outposts for the 2003 charter year. Each chartered outpost will continue to receive its subscription to the High Adventure boy’s magazine and High Adventure Leader for its chartered members. The outpost will also receive a membership card and 7 Promises for Boys for each boy and a membership card for each leader. Chartered outposts are entitled to the benefits of certified training and attendance at district and national events. In the future, the national office will be producing other items that the local outpost will receive as benefit of the chartering dues.

In order for your outpost to take advantage of the many events and training opportunities provided by the national office, you must be an officially recognized. This is done by chartering. When you charter, you automatically receive a great deal of assistance and help with implementing your Royal Rangers ministry effectively. Your ministry will receive helpful materials such as:

• An outpost number and an official charter certificate
• Membership cards for the boys and leaders in your program
• Quarterly publications of High Adventure for your boys and High Adventure Leader for your commanders
• Award program enrollment, making your group eligible to participate in the Outpost Commander's Award Program
• Selected brochures that highlight the many areas of ministry available to Royal Rangers participants
• Other benefits, such as participation in the Leadership Training Academy; national training camps; sectional, district and national camping activities; and the Royal Rangers of the Year program (which ranges from local to national competition)
• Tracking CD to chart boys' advancements and leaders' training

Requirements for Chartering Your Outpost
In order to obtain chartering, your outpost must meet minimum requirements, including:

• A qualified leader and, if possible, one or more assistants
• At least five boys who have met the recruit requirements
• A registration fee for each participating boy and adult
• Holding three regular meetings
