The history of the Mississippi District Royal Ranger's Ranger
Trails Camp is just beginning, but our prayer is that the
text below will chronicle years of exciting ministry to boys
and leaders of all ages. From inception to reality, God has worked
the miracle that has turned an abandoned YWCA camp into a thieving
facility being used for the Glory of God. Join me now as we relive
the experiences of the Ranger Trails Camp and rejoice that God
answers prayer! |

1994 The Vision Begins . . . |
|
|
In 1994, District Men's Director, Rev. P.T. Palmer, assemble
the District Royal Ranger staff under the direction of District
Commander, Barrett Hannah, to discuss the possibilities
of searching for property for a Royal Rangers campground. The
meeting was exciting. The staff enthusiastically discussed the
desired features of property they would be looking for such as
a central location, between 100 and 200 acres, easy access, forestry
and much more. After the meeting, Brother Palmer drafted a resolution
that would be presented to the Mississippi District Council in
May of 1994. |

The Search Begins |
|
|
Brother Palmer, the district Royal Rangers staff and Royal Ranger
leaders all over the state begin to search for property for the
Royal Rangers camp. In the mean time, Birney Stringer,
then Production Coordinator, offered his families' property in
Jasper county to lease and use until we purchased property. This
was indeed a blessing to the district and a great learning ground
for the future purchase. Many leads were checked out. Bobby Bush,
Sectional Commander, spotted several pieces of property in an
around Jasper and Clarke Counties and made inquiries. |
