The Ranger Kids Advancement Trail
is based on the needs, interest
and characteristics of boys in kindergarten, first grade,
and second grade. The Trail is a plan of advancement
through learning—from both experiences and activities—and
being recognized for their learning. It is designed to
offer every boy adventure and fun. The Trail is more
than an interesting course of action; it is a new experience—a
new achievement. It is a Ranger's opportunity to grow
through new abilities, knowledge, and desires.
The Ranger
Kids Advancement Trail is made up of three trails:
To earn each trail's patch, the Ranger
Kid must earn the four awards along the trail. For example,
once a Ranger Kid has earned the Antelope Award, the Ram
Award, the Caribou Award, and the Buffalo Award, he receives
the Elk patch.
The boys can earn these awards in any
order because they are all of equal value, not based on
previous requirements.
The individual steps that the Ranger
Kid must take to earn each award are directed to help
him grow:
- Physically
- Spiritually
- Mentally
- Socially
After completing each step toward earning
the award, the achievement is noted in the Ranger Kid's
Handbook and workbook with the commander's signature and
the date.
For information on where the patches
should be placed on the Ranger Kids uniform, see the Ranger
Kids Uniform page.
In addition to the Advancement Trail,
Ranger Kids can earn
Achievement Awards and
participate in the God
and Country program.
