I wanted to let everyone know that generally speaking, the links section has now been updated and the dead links have been removed.

Now, we need your help. Have a great resource you use for Rangers or FCF? Write on your own blog? Do you enjoy your local Outpost, section, division, district, or region's website? Share them with us so we can all grow and expand our knowledge!

Feel free to PM me with any questions, or post them here. We're all looking forward to seeing what is added in the days and weeks ahead.

See you around the campfire....

Been awhile since I posted on the front page. Thought you guys might enjoy this article I read this morning. Any body besides me thing this looks a whole lot like a center seam moccasin? [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100609/ap_on_sc/us_sci_old_shoe]

So, with the winter weather around most of the country, I was wondering how many FCFers have tested their gear in real Winter Weather? I know a couple years ago here in KS, we had an adventure in March. It was pretty darn cold wind blowing and woke up in the morning to snow! I was pretty pleased that my humble FCF outfit, properly layered kept me warm and toasty in this weather.

Well, after much fiddling and going blind with code and bald with frustration at code that didn't work, RF is finally back online. My apologies that it took so long. With the birth of my daughter and the extra time going to my work, time was in short supply. Hopefully this finds everyone in good spirits and and I am glad to bring you an early present for the holidays in having the board back up.

With that I will caution you that there is a new security feature here at RF and it is called ctracker. If by chance you happen upon a pink box with a ctracker warning, just leave a note in the sup ...

ARMOUR OF GOD

Dear Rangers,
In the Pioneer Handbook we ask "How do you dress properly for a hike?" Well, you need strong shoes or boot, a hat, Long pants (Jeans) or shorts with long socks, a long sleeve shirt (To protect from the sun), a belt for your water bottles and a small back pack. So now you are prepared for a hike in the bush (Forest). It is just the same with our Christian life we are equipped my God for our hike through this world.

In Ephesians 6:12-17 we read "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers ...

2nd Sam. Chapter 11, is where I want to look at , King David had a problem (wonder'n EYES ), and it got him in trouble.
Thinking, turns into lust and lust turns into sin, which was turned into lies, adultery, and even murder for David.

But through it all, God forgave him and with Bathseba ...

This is not directly related to the Royal Ranger program but I thought it should be mentioned and individual Outposts may be able to contribute.

On my way to work this morning I saw a Convoy of Hope truck headed southeast through Pine Bluff. When I saw the truck I had a feeling of pride because I know that the Assembly of God is working with Convoy of Hope to bring hope to the families and people in the aftermath of the current storms.

It reminded me that we in the midst of our own troubles and trials there are others that are hurting worse and we would do well to let God handle our tro ...

You have heard the old wise saying that the “early bird gets the worm”. That’s true, but it’s “the second mouse that gets the cheese”.
I want to talk a little about that importance of making the effort to read your bible “EVERYDAY”. Get up and make yourself read the Word. Even a little bit can help.
Do you take baths or showers and wash your hands daily?
I make sure I take a bath every week on Saturdays even if I don’t need one.
Seriously folks, ...
