Fathers & Ranger Cookout
by Choy Ji Ian



On the 22nd of June, 2008, around 60 Royal Rangers and their fathers gathered for the Father & Ranger Cookout at the Calvary Refreshment Centre. The Cookout was held to celebrate Father’s Day and provide the Rangers and their fathers with an opportunity to spend quality time together.

The Cookout began with prayer and devotion by Rangers Councilman Samuel Sham. Senior Commander Eddy Law went over the rules and the Cookout began.



Each team was required to prepare an entrée, main course and dessert using a whole chicken, potatoes and bananas, all within 90 minutes. While some fathers wielded their knives awkwardly and were initially at a loss as to how to go about preparing the dishes, others expertly set about their work.



Church pastors and families of the participants thronged the CRC as the teams persevered at their task. The Rangers cleaned up and ensured that the CRC facilities were fully functioning.

When the time was up, the dishes were critiqued by the judges. After the judging, everyone rushed to taste the food for themselves. The participants were especially eager to try their opponents’ fare.



The Cookout ended with the announcement of the winners and a prayer of thanksgiving. We thank the Royal Rangers for organising this memorable event.


Royal Rangers National and Advance Academy 2008



Three of our Commanders attended the Royal Rangers National Academy and Advance Academy in Singapore, Councilman Samuel Sham in Advance Academy, Outpost Commander Wong Horr Wai in National Academy and Council Chairman Jim Guneratnam as Instructor. This training camp was organise by Royal Rangers International (RRI) in conjunction with the RRI Asia Pacific Summit in Kuala Lumpur. RRI Director and US National Commander Doug Marsh together with US National Training Coordinator Perry Siddle and National Council President Jim Barger conducted the four day training camp in cooperation with the Singapore National Royal Rangers. Visit the Royal Rangers Asia Pacific website for more information about RRI and upcoming event in the region.

Discovery Rangers Hiking Trip

Ranger Kids Nite Out







Twenty two Ranger Kids participated in this year’s Nite Out, held on 14 & 15 March 2008. The highlight of the camp was a visit to the Fire Station where the Rangers learnt about fire safety and complete the requirements for the Fire Fighters Achievement Merit.

25th Anniversary Dinner Celebration



The Royal Rangers celebrated our 25th Anniversary on 18 August 2007. Over 420 Rangers, parents and friends joined us for this special dinner celebration.


25th Anniversary Fund



The Royal Rangers 25th Anniversary Funds was conceived with the purpose to raise funds as our contribution towards the building of the Calvary Convention Centre, sharing in the vision to transform lives and impact nations. We are indeed grateful to the generous sponsors who have contributed and supported our 25th Anniversary celebration events. At planning stage, as it was our 25th anniversary, we thought that RM 25,000 would be a good figure to aim at. Praise the Lord! We raised RM 75,000 for the Calvary Convention Centre. We thank God for this privilege to be a part of the Calvary Convention Centre, for the opportunity for every Royal Ranger to participate in the future of Calvary Church in reaching, teaching and keeping young people for Christ.


25th Anniversary Collectables


We have produced a special edition t-shirt, patch and bolo tie in conjunction with our 25th Anniversary. Limited quantities of these collectables are available, so get yours today!
