National Camps and Conferences
	Johnnie Barnes Excellence Initiative (JBEI) The JBEI seminar will stretch you and your organizational leadership team. You will be challenged to embrace new leadership behaviors and attitudes. Though counter-intuitive, you will discover freedom by embracing limits that lead to greater influence and effectiveness. You will also receive tools to continually improve upon past performance and reach new goals. This conference is recommended for all regional, district/network, divisional, or sectional staff, those in ministry, or those completing the Organizational Leadership Training (OLT) Track (JBEI satisfies the final requirement for completion of the PLATINUM OLT level). District leaders are encouraged to ask potential or new organizational leaders to attend this seminar shortly before or after appointing them to their first post of service. All organizational leaders should attend the seminar every 5 years to refresh their knowledge on current leadership topics. View Scheduled Events
	National Elementary Education Conference (NEEC) NEEC is an interactive event that gives men and women leaders training in various techniques and methods to effectively teach and mentor boys. Leaders will explore the development and needs of the elementary age group, with Ranger Kids as the main focus. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the needs and characteristics of boys so you can better relate and connect with them. View Scheduled Events
	National Rangers Ministry Conference (NRMC) NRMC provides outpost leaders with instruction in performing their role in an outpost. Participants are introduced to the following activities: Archery, arts, air gun, computers, drama, music, team building initiatives, trades, and Ranger Derby. Additionally, participants experience what it means to be a boy-lead, adult-facilitated outpost, using the team/patrol system. Most importantly, participants are challenged spiritually to live a life of godly manhood and servant leadership. Every leader will be able to answer the question, “Do I have what it takes to be a godly man?” View Scheduled Events
	World Class Outpost Seminar (WCO) The WCO seminar is designed to expose the outpost leadership team to a successful set of practices, methods, strategies, and tools that will enable them to develop into a World Class Outpost. The greatest benefit of this event is achieved when the outpost/church leadership attends and completes this event together as a team. View Scheduled Events

	The success of a Royal Rangers outpost can be greatly improved with a supportive and effective Outpost Committee. A successful Outpost Committee is one that is committed to supporting the local Royal Rangers outpost in the areas of promotion, leadership, and finances. This foundational support will enable the Group Leaders to fulfill the mission of the Royal Rangers ministry to evangelize, equip, and empower the next generation of Christ-like men and life-long servant leaders.

	So you’ve been appointed outpost coordinator? Congratulations! You’ve accepted what may be the most important position in your ministry to the church. In Royal Rangers, the outpost coordinator is the focal point for parents and church leadership, the voice and face of Royal Rangers in the local church, and he is the team leader that helps make this ministry successful. The outpost coordinator holds the top leadership position in the Royal Rangers outpost at the local church. While the key to the success of a Royal Rangers ministry is the pastor, the pastor needs a go-to man with a vision to coordinate the Royal Ranger ministry. This course should add knowledge to that vision to enable you to fulfill the mission both your pastor and of the Royal Rangers ministry to evangelize, equip, and empower the next generation of Christ-like men and life-long servant leaders. For more information, click here
	The Outpost Chaplaincy is the newest online training course available. The outpost Chaplain functions as the spiritual advisor of the outpost. He should be conscious of the spiritual needs of the boys and offer spiritual guidance to each. He should see that the opportunity is provided for every boy to receive Christ as Lord and Savior and should encourage boys to seek the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
