Royal Rangers is an activity-based mentoring ministry for boys and young men in grades K through 12. Across Louisiana, local outposts and statewide events give boys the tools to become men through a Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered walk: integrity, doctrine, a biblical worldview, and what it means to be a man.
Four signature events bring outposts from every corner of Louisiana to Twin Lakes Campground and beyond. Details, packets, pricing, and registration live on the Louisiana Royal Rangers site.

FCF is the Royal Rangers honor program for boys 11 and up and the men who lead them. Members take frontier names, build period outfits, and master the skills of the early American wilderness: blacksmithing, leather craft, bowyery, and more. Louisiana's chapter is the Jim Bowie Chapter.
