LOUISIANA TRAINING ACADEMY
Without a doubt, the Louisiana Training Academy provides the most
in-depth and advanced training a boy can experience as a Royal Ranger. The
vast assortment of advanced merits offered at academy is second to none
in the nation. Louisiana Royal Rangers takes a backseat to NO
ONE in the area of training for both boys and men. Come and
experience the opportunity of a lifetime, doing things you couldn't possibly
do in the course of your normal outpost activities. Have fun and achieve
what you thought you could never have had a chance to do.
THE PURPOSE OF ROYAL RANGER ACADEMY:
Academy is a place of training, a school. It is conducted each
year to provide boys with training in the Royal Ranger program and assist
them in their advancements. As leaders, we are to serve the needs of the
boys, by providing them with training in various areas of skill, knowledge
and spiritual guidance.
If you are working toward your Gold Medal of Achievement, you can
get a six month "jump" over attending the weekly meetings. By
this, I mean it would take six months of weekly meetings to accomplish
what can be done in one week at academy. Through the dedication of numerous
(over 75) PRAYED-UP and READY commanders coming together
in one place with one goal in mind, academy can provide just such an accomplishment.
The curriculum is designed for the total development of the boy.
Below is a list of some of the advancements that were available at last
