For:
6th - 8th Grade Boys
About The Program:
Every great challenge a young man accepts helps to build his character, increase his determination to achieve, and improve his ability to set goals and fulfill them. The Adventure Rangers Advancement Trail offers such a challenge-the Trail to the Gold Medal of Achievement. It is a plan to help him earn the Gold Medal of Achievement (GMA), a medal of great distinction and honor.
About The Trail:
The key to progressing on the Advancement Trail is earning merits. Each merit has a colored border, indicating its color group. After completing a specific number of merits in the required color groups, the Adventure Ranger can earn one of the Advancement awards. For example, the Advancement awards leading to the Bronze Medal of Achievement are the Powder Horn, Bowie Knife, Tomahawk, and Long Rifle.
After completing each set of steps and a few other requirements, the three medals of achievement he'll earn are:
Bronze Medal Silver Medal Gold Medal
There are several ways to earn the merits on the Adventure Rangers Advancement Trail. Some of the merits will be earned during the weekly meetings, while others will require extra effort outside of meeting times. The merits can be earned in any order, and while the Gold Medal of Achievement has specific merits that are required, the other merits that are earned are up to the individual Ranger's choice.
Here are a list of requirments for the various merits used in Discovery Rangers (click each one to learn more):
