'''Royal Rangers''' is a worldwide movement of the [[Assemblies of God]] designed to provide young people with activities while providing them with religious instruction. A [[camping]] theme is at the heart of most activities, along with a merit award system whereby Royal Rangers must demonstrate specific knowledge and abilities. Since 1962, this program, developed originally by North [[Texas]] Youth Director Rev. Johnnie Barnes, has since spread from the Assemblies of God to many other denominations (notably the [[International Pentecostal Holiness Church]]) and from the [[United States]] to over 73 countries. Most of the sponsoring churches sponsor Royal Rangers as an alternative to more [[secularism|secular]] youth movements such as [[Scouting]]. Royal Rangers International and Royal Rangers America do not consider themselves as part of the Scouting movement, although Royal Rangers Germany does. | '''Royal Rangers''' is a worldwide movement of the [[Assemblies of God]] designed to provide young people with activities while providing them with religious instruction.
