⭐ Royal Rangers Back‑to‑School Lock‑In Recap⭐
What an incredible night we had at our Royal Rangers Back‑to‑School Lock‑In this past Friday! From the moment the boys arrived, the energy was high and the smiles were everywhere. We kicked things off with Ice Breaker Bingo, followed by free throw and 3‑point basketball challenges, nerf football, frisbee time, and some seriously impressive LEGO building.
As the sun went down, the fun lit up—literally—with our Glow Stick Party and Dance‑Off, where the boys showed off their best moves. We settled in together to watch Despicable Me 4, complete with popcorn and candy, and enjoyed a classic lock‑in dinner of pizza. Some of our Rangers even squeezed in a few rounds of chess before everyone finally slept like rocks.
Morning came early, but Commander Josh made it worth waking up for with pancakes and hot buttered syrup for everyone. After breakfast, we gathered for a devotional from James 5:8, talked about gratitude and how we can carry that attitude into the new school year. The boys helped pack up and clean, and each one left with a bundle of school supplies to bless them as they head back to class.
It was a godly, spirit‑filled night of fun, fellowship, and growth, and we are already excited to do it all again next year!
