Royal Rangers is a Christian scouting program designed to minister to
the needs of boys and girls. It was started as a boys ministry by the
Men's Ministries of the Assemblies of God. This program has since
spread beyond just that one denomination to many churches in many

KEEP boys and girls for JESUS CHRIST. The companion program designed
for girls is called "Missionettes," but some places use the Royal
Rangers program for both boys and girls, or allow girls into
Air/Sea/Trail Rangers.
