Ranger Award

The purpose of the award is to encourage Venturers to achieve a high level of outdoor skills proficiency; recognize achievement of this high level of outdoor skills proficiency; provide a path for outdoor/high-adventure skills training; establish Rangers as a highly trained leadership resource for crews, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the community.

The Ranger Award exemplifies a challenging high-level outdoor/high-adventure skills advancement program.  Once earned, it will identify a Ranger as someone who is skilled at a variety of outdoor sports and interest, trained in outdoor safety, and ready to lead or assist others in activities.  Rangers can be great program assets to Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops.

Requirements

Note

Venturers who have received the Outdoor Bronze Award need complete only four of the core requirements and two electives to qualify for the Ranger Award.

Procedure

Ranger candidates can earn requirements.  They can work on their own or with other Venturers.  A crew may also work together.  Candidates can work with outside consultants such as a scuba diving instructor.  Advisors and consultants must sign a Ranger candidate's record sheet found in the Ranger Guidebook.

The Ranger Award

After months of experiencing and acquiring skills in a wide variety of outdoor/high-adventure interests, sharing those skills with others, the Ranger will receive a sterling silver medal that features a powder horn superimposed over a compass dial.  The medal is worn suspended from a green and white ribbon, which is suspended from a silver "Ranger" bar.  A sterling silver Ranger bar is also available.
