ACNC Registered Charity — mentoring young Australians since 1964
Raising a generation that is ready for anything.
Rangers Australia is the national home of Royal Rangers — a Christ-centred mentoring ministry where young people aged 5 to 17 build character, learn outdoor skills, earn badges and discover lifelong leadership.
60+Years in Australia
5–17Age range
4Age-group programs
Our Mission
Evangelise, equip and empower the next generation
Our mission is to evangelise, equip and empower the next generation of Christlike men and women — and lifelong servant leaders.
Every week, in churches and community halls across Australia, trained Ranger leaders mentor small groups of young people through adventure, achievement and friendship. From a child's very first badge to a teenager leading their own patrol, Rangers is a journey that shapes character for life.
As an ACNC registered charity, Rangers Australia Incorporated also operates the National Supply House in Bundamba, Queensland — supplying uniforms, patches and merit materials to local Ranger groups nationwide.
The Program
Four age groups, one incredible journey
From five-year-olds taking their first steps of faith to teenagers leading expeditions, every stage of Rangers is built for that season of life.
AGES 5–7
Ranger Kids
A gentle introduction to adventure — crafts, games, Bible stories and first badges in a safe, joyful environment.
AGES 8–10
Discovery Rangers
Hands-on skills take off: camping basics, first aid, cooking over a fire, and earning real merit badges.
AGES 11–13
Adventure Rangers
Bigger challenges for growing kids — overnight camps, navigation, teamwork and deeper faith questions.
AGES 14–17
Expedition Rangers
Young people step into leadership — planning expeditions, mentoring juniors, and preparing for life beyond school.
