East Contra Costa County Royal Rangers - The Trail of the Silver Saber

East Contra Costa County Royal Rangers - The Trail of the Silver Saber

My four oldest boys are Members of Outpost 5 of the Royal Rangers in the Sioux Section. Our new year got rolling at the end of July. Royal Rangers is a lot like Scouting, but through the church. We provide an outdoor experience and training with Spiritual Development.

This weekend my two oldest boys went to a Leadership Training Weekend. It is part of a series of six camps to earn the Silver Saber which is one of the awards they can get. The Silver Saber is a real military style saber; it will have their name on it and a favorite passage from the Bible.

At the camp this weekend they worked on camping and camp cooking, Leadership Skills, learned about formations and marching (we never do this much but kids think it is cool), the earned the Nature Merit Badge, and just had a lot of fun. My other boys cannot wait until they are old enough to go to Leadership camp and work on their Silver Saber.

Our Outpost stratles the border of East Contra Costa County and Central Contra Costa County. If you would like more information on our Outpost or Royal Rangers in general let me know.
