and become his servant.

Royal Rangers Guidelines and Procedures

Never in the history of the Assemblies of God has such a great concern arisen concerning the protection of children, lay workers, ministers, churches, and ministries from the blight of child abuse and its ramifications. For this reason, basic guidelines on child abuse prevention have been established by the national Royal Rangers Office.
Below are 10 principles to help ensure a wholesome and safe atmosphere for our Royal Rangers boys and men.
Policy 10: Child Abuse Prevention
1. Screen your leaders. 2. Establish procedures and policies on proper conduct of Royal Rangers leaders. 3. Establish job descriptions for Royal Rangers leaders. 4. Two adult leaders are required for all Royal Rangers activities--such as camping, field trips, etc.
Additional leadership may be required with large group activities. 5. One-on-one activity between a child and an adult in not recommended. 6. Privacy of young people is to be respected within designated safety and health areas. 7. All auxiliary programs--such as the Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship, Chi Omega Rho, or Royal
Rangers camps--must uphold the same leadership standards as their outposts. 8. All unauthorized royal Rangers clubs are prohibited. 9. Keep written records of unusual behavior and occurrences. 10. Report incidences of child abuse to your pastor or church board.
