Leadership
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Leaders who invest in the next generation of men
Boys of all ages come to Royal Rangers to have fun, go camping, hike, spend time outdoors, learn lessons in life and leadership, and grow into men who are good members of society, husbands, and fathers.
There, at each weekly meeting, campout, hike, and event, are men who believe it is essential to invest in these boys, to teach them the lessons they need to grow into the men they ought to be.
Our leaders are dedicated to providing a safe, secure, enjoyable, and spiritually nurturing environment for all boys at all times.
Meet Brian
My name is Brian Furlough. I am the outpost coordinator. I've been involved in Royal Rangers for 18 years - 3 years as an early teen and 15 years as a leader.
Royal Rangers was launched as a ministry to help equip and empower boys. I am passionate, along with the other leaders, about mentoring boys to help them become Godly young men and leaders today and tomorrow.
I’ve seen firsthand how the programs, outings, camping trips, weekly meetings, and intentional discussions with boys help shape their lives through adolescence and into adulthood.
The boys who spend formative years in this program learn to respect leadership, our nation, the flag, and authority. They learn essential life lessons and skills, develop independence, and learn to love God, their church, and their fellow man. I want to invite boys and their parents to check out Royal Rangers.
Here, they’ll find a safe, fun, engaging, and, most importantly, spiritually nurturing environment specifically designed for the unique needs of boys.
