NCN DISTRICT JUNIOR LEADERS

TRAINING ACADEMY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND

NEVADA DISTRICT ROYAL RANGERS

CONCERN: In the MINISTRY OF ROYAL RANGERS, boys have been striving to achieve all that is held high in terms of standards, growth and honors. For years they struggled from one advancement to the next, but only when there was a “next” challenge to go on to. Some of these boys achieved the highest award a boy can receive, the Gold Medal of Achievement. Often times after receiving this award, they had nothing left to challenge them. It was not long before they were no longer actively involved in Royal Rangers and sometimes not involved in their church at all. Many of these young men were between the ages of 16 to 21, a time in their lives when they need to begin developing their leadership skills. As a result, young men with as many as ten years of indoctrination and training in the church began to disappear from the church. Years later, one or two of these young men may have reappeared in the church and perhaps have become involved as leaders in the church and sometimes in Royal Rangers as a Commander. What happened to all those young men? What happened to all those Gold Medalists? What could have been accomplished during those years these young men wanted to do more in the Royal Ranger ministry? PURPOSE: The DISTRICT JUNIOR LEADERS TRAINING ACADEMY is one of many options to help answer these questions. Several training camps will take place each year with some on a rotational basis. This will give boys intense, professional training along with powerful spiritual emphasis. This training experience is designed to be a catalyst and a springboard of spiritual encouragement. The Academy will prepare young men for a gradual, ever increasing role of leadership in their local outpost, church, community and country. By itself the Academy cannot accomplish this. It takes a local outpost and church with the vision to provide a place of ministry for these older Rangers. More importantly, it is an active outpost that continues to give the sense of belonging with an elite group of Rangers. The inspiration and training the Ranger brings back to his outpost is a source of rich ministry and edification to other boys in the outpost. It is our intention that a young man will experience a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ during his training at the Academy. He will learn things about himself and what he needs to do in order to follow the Lord’s will in his life. This high sense of spiritual awareness will become infectious to his outpost brothers. The entire outpost will desire to have the same experience to learn, to advance, and respond to the challenge of the Academy. In short, through the Academy, boys learn the importance of assuming their role of leadership within their church, thus training boys to become leaders. DEFINITION: The Academy will consist of a series of camps designed to train boys in specific areas of discipleship and leadership responsibilities. On the following page is a list of the camps.

Overview of Academy Camps JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP - JTC Six-day format (½ day, 5 full days, ½ day) PURPOSE: This camp will teach the role of a Junior Leader in his outpost. We will introduce him to the skills needed to return to his outpost and assist his commander. A strong spiritual awareness will be emphasized. CAMP FORMAT: We will use an NTC style format as far as camping in patrols and daily formations. We do not follow NTC format as far as the same classes and training. If you do, a boy has nothing to look forward to at NTC as a leader. Camping skills will not be taught but will be practiced in a camping situation. By this point a boy should have been taught camping skills by his commander. If not, he will learn from his patrol. JTC boys by patrol will assist the camp cook after meals to cleanup. Meals will be served in a formal manner to practice etiquette. CLASSES: He will be introduced to many aspects of being an effective leader:

• Patrol System • Junior Leader in the outpost • Importance of punctuality • Traits of a good Leader • Advancement system • Proper care of Uniforms • Proper care of shoes and accessories • Voice commands/facing/movements/formations/flag raising • Building council fires, skits, and stories • Cooking and serving etiquette • Outpost games • Range Safety Firearms and Archery • Making the most of the Academy

************************************************************************ ADVANCED JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP - AJTC Six-day format (½ day, 5 full days, ½ day)

PURPOSE: “Advanced” will be stressed in this camp. We will continue their leadership training and encourage their spiritual growth. The areas the boys were introduced to in JTC will be studied and practiced in depth. CAMP FORMAT: This camp will run in conjunction with JTC. Advanced boys will be put into patrols and will fall into formation with the JTC boys for morning assembly, meals, and other formations during the day. Their training will be separate from the JTC boys. Advanced boys by patrol will assist the camp cook in setting tables in preparation for meals. Meals will be served in a formal manner to practice etiquette. CLASSES: Classes will be many of the same subjects taught in JTC and will be studied and practiced at length. Life skills will be covered in depth in a group discussion format. We will allow boys the opportunity in a safe environment to be able to open up and share feelings and learn from the experiences of their peers as well as instructors. It is our desire that each young man will experience a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ during his training.

ELITE JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP - EJTC Six-day format (½ day, 5 full days, ½ day)

• Communication skills PURPOSE: To continue to build on leadership skills learned at AJTC. To increase their biblical knowledge and their relationship with Jesus Christ. To train young men to serve as Honor Guards and Security Patrols at District Camps and events. CAMP FORMAT: This camp will run in conjunction with AJTC. Elite JTC trainees will be put into patrols and will fall into formation with the AJTC boys for morning assembly, meals, and other formations during the day. Their training will be separate from the AJTC boys. Elite JTC trainees by patrol will assist the camp cook in serving meals. Meals will be served in a formal manner to practice etiquette. CLASSES: At the Elite JTC training camp, Trainees will be instructed in both basic and advanced U.S. Military Color and Honor Guard training. Trainees will be instructed in basic search and rescue skills. Trainees will also be instructed in basic security techniques and communication skills to be put into practice at various Ranger events. Elite graduates will come out with advanced knowledge to participate as members in Honor Guard ceremonies. **************************************************************************************

JUNIOR ACADEMY CADET SCHOOL - JACS Six-day format (½ day, 5 full days, ½ day)

How to find out your correct hat size. Use a tape measure to measure around your head: - across your brow (approx. 1" above eye brows) - slightly above your ears - keeping the tape parallel to the floor - this measurement is a "two-person" event and is nearly impossible to accurately do by yourself. For best results, use a plastic or cloth tape measure. Alternately, you may use a piece of string or cord and then measure the length of the cord.
