We provide Christ-like character formation and servant leadership development for boys and young men in a highly relational and fun environment. Our mission is to evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of Christ-like men and lifelong servant leaders. The Potomac District administrative region of the General Council of the Assemblies of God takes in Washington, D.C., Maryland, most of Virginia and northern West Virginia. Over 100 churches throughout this region currently provide Royal Ranger ministry to more than 2,500 boys and young men. We use many tools to achieve that goal whether it be camping, merits or interactive skills, all designed to help develop a boy into a man while having fun and getting to know God. Golf Tournament Raises Over $4,000 for Royal Rangers The 22nd annual Projects Unlimited Golf Tournament was held Saturday, May 21, at Hickory Heights Gold Course in Spring Grove, Pa. This year, 67 golfers participated—in the rain. Over $4,000 was raised for the Royal Ranger ministry. Pictured is Rev. Bobby Basham (l.), executive director for Potomac District Royal Rangers, receiving the donation from former district commander Dan Harlan (center), chairman of Projects Unlimited, and Gary “Blaz’n Bear” Groves, founder. We want to develop both men and boys in mentoring relationships and leadership skills, and guide them to Jesus Christ. We reach boys, so they may reach another in their world. tomahawk Potomac District Executive Director Rev.

DISTRICT COMMANDER’S MEMO Thanks for a Blessed Pow Wow 2016 By Bob Blessing 2 016 Potomac District Pow Wow—what a great time! We were treated to God’s liquid sunshine Friday evening and again mid-day on Saturday, be we overcame, changed a few things and did what Royal Rangers do best— adjusted. Thank you everyone for your understanding. We had two encouraging morning devotions by Brian McCroskey and an awesome service by our Pow Wow productions team, media team and new Royal Ranger worship band “Damascus Road,” and a great message about overcoming Giants by Col. Scott McChrystal. We had plenty of events for the boys to experience—laser tag, fishing, canoe racing, archery, .22 gun, shotgun, volley ball, zip line, rock climbing and swimming. It was a pleasure to serve the leaders and the boys of the Potomac District as your District Commander. I would like to publicly thank Harry Hawthorne for all of his hard work in logistics and preparation for our Pow Wow. We also got some good news from Richard Holder the BSA Camp Director. Mark your calendars for next year—we will be back at Camp Rock Enon Aug. 3-6, 2017, and JLTA will be hosted at the camp on July 30-Aug. 2, 2017. TOMAHAWK July - August 2016 3 Gold Medal Requirements Change Effective January By Tyler Mazer A s announced during LEAD 2016, the National Royal Rangers Office has introduced changes regarding the Gold Medal of Achievement (GMA) that will take effect Jan. 1, 2017. Here is a summary. The GMA is once again the top award for Royal Rangers. There will be three new advancements in Adventure Rangers: Adventure Bronze, Adventure Silver and Adventure Gold. These new advancements are the equivalent to the Gold Falcon, Gold Hawk and Gold Eagle in Discovery Rangers. All other age group advancements stay the same. This means that in order to earn the GMA, a Ranger must complete the top advancement in two age groups—Discovery Rangers and above. If a Ranger completes the top advancement in three age groups, he would receive the GMA with merit, which is indicated by a gold star worn on the GMA ribbon. If a Ranger completes the top advancement in four age groups, he would receive the GMA with honors, which is indicated by a second gold star worn on the GMA ribbon. The special Honor drape, Bronze and Silver medals will be issued until the current stock is replaced. Commanders that have Rangers who have currently earned the Bronze or Silver Medals are encouraged to help these boys finish the requirements to earn the GMA before the new changes take effect in 2017. Due to these changes in the advancement program, the district staff will endeavor to schedule GMA interviews not only at District Pow Wow, but also this fall. Royal Rangers Advancement System Update 2016 PROBLEM: ● Recent changes in the role & significance of the GMA have not been popular and have created inconsistencies with the historic role of the GMA in the program. The current GMA is not equivalent to the historic GMA, implying that they are two very different or separate awards that share the same name, leading to confusion. ● The Honor GMA is a valuable and significant goal for boys but it is not attainable for those who did not complete Ranger Kids or did not join the program until the 6th grade or later. Many boys are therefore discouraged from continuing with the program long‐ term since they see the new “highest award” as unattainable for them. SOLUTION: 1. Move the GMA to a new position in the advancement system that is similar to the historic role and significance of this award. a. Boys may earn the GMA by earning the highest award in any TWO age groups (with a minimum age of 12 years & completion of the Capstone Project). 4 TOMAHAWK July - August 2016 2. Create an intermediate step to earning the Honor GMA and name both awards in such a way as to represent them as embellishments on the GMA rather than separate awards. a. Boys may earn the “GMA with Merit” by earning the highest award in any THREE age groups. b. Boys may earn the “GMA with Honors” (formerly Honor GMA) by earning the highest award in all FOUR age groups. 3. Rename all three annual awards in Adventure Rangers to something new to completely disassociate them from the BMA, SMA, and GMA awards of 2002 & 2010: a. AR Year 1 BMA will become “Adventure Bronze Award.” b. AR Year 2 SMA will become “Adventure Silver Award.” c. AR Year 3 GMA will become “Adventure Gold Award.” ADVANTAGES: 1. Re‐establishes the GMA in a position of significance comparable to the historic GMA (completion of two age groups). 2. Maintains the GMA as the most significant award in the program, with the GMA with Merit and GMA with Honors awards being represented as “embellishments” to the GMA. 3. Older boys can earn the GMA without participating in DR (or working back in previous groups). 4. A minimum age of 12 yrs retains the traditional standard of the GMA. 5. Maintains the “GMA with Honors” (Honor GMA) in its current role as representing completion of the entire program. 6. Provides intermediate steps of recognition for boys who may never earn the GMA with Honors but still qualify for an award beyond the GMA (i.e. the GMA with Merit). 7. Establishes a direct equivalency between the highest awards in RR and those of Girls Ministries. a. GMA = Bronze Medal of Honor b. GMA with Merit = Silver Medal of Honor c. GMA with Honors = Gold Medal of Honor National Ranger Leadership Issues New Guidelines Effective in 2017 for the Gold Medal of Achievement SIGNIFICANT FACTORS: ● It would still be true that the GMA is technically not the highest award in the program, and that the GMA with Merit and GMA with Honors are actually higher (as was the case with Buffalos prior to 2010), but the comparative equivalency between the new GMA and the historic GMA would likely be perceived as an acceptable restoration of the prominence of the GMA, even if it’s not the “absolute highest” award available. Furthermore, we will celebrate the GMA as the “most significant” award in the program, with the other two being “embellishments” to it rather than separate awards. ● All regular requirements for AR advancement awards will remain unchanged. Only the names of the awards will change. ● Silver Buffalo awards will remain a part of Adventure Rangers, worn on the Adventure Gold award. Buffalos will not be associated with any of the GMA series of awards. ● The Capstone Project will remain unchanged, and still be required for the GMA. INSIGNIA 1. Insignia for all the three GMA awards (GMA, GMA with Merit, and GMA with Honors) will utilize the same current GMA ribbon, medal, and patch, with (1) star being worn on the ribbon & medal to signify “with merit” and (2) stars to signify “with honors”. No special insignia will be available to represent the merit or honors embellishments on the GMA patch. 2. Only the highest award from the GMA series may be worn, to signify that they are three versions of the same award, not three separate awards. 3. Medals insignia for the new AR awards: a. Adventure Bronze Award – blue & white ribbon with AR pendant. b. Adventure Silver Award ‐ red & white ribbon with AR pendant. c. Adventure Gold Award ‐ purple & white ribbon with AR pendant. 4. The GMA (with or without merit or honors) will be worn in the #3 position in the medals and ribbons order of wear, after the medals of valor and courage. IMPLEMENTATION & TRANSITION 1. These changes will take effect in the spring/summer of 2016, as soon as the new award insignia becomes available. Updated Discovery and Adventure Rangers handbooks will be available at that time. Updated Expedition Rangers handbooks and Leader Manual will be available some time later, as determined by current inventory. Award applications on the national web site will also be updated at that time. 2. From this date through 12/31/16, boys have the option of earning the current 2010 GMA (with the Capstone Project) or the 2016 Adventure Gold award (without the Capstone Project). After 12/31/16 the 2010 GMA will no longer be available. 3. From this date through 12/31/16 boys have the option of earning the BMA and SMA awards or the Adventure Bronze and Adventure Silver awards. After 12/31/16 the BMA and SMA awards will no longer be available. 4. Boys who have earned the BMA and SMA awards may continue to wear them or wear the new Adventure Bronze & Adventure Silver awards (but they cannot wear both). 5. Boys who have earned the 2010 GMA will still be considered GMA recipients but must earn the highest award in three age groups to qualify for the GMA with Merit, and all four for GMA with Honors. That is, the 2010 GMA represents the completion of (1) age group, not (2). 6. Boys who have earned the 2010 Honor GMA may continue to wear that insignia or the GMA with Honors insignia (but they cannot wear both). Calling All Frontiersmen!

The charter year is Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 (traditional school year). The charter processing period will be Aug. 15 Oct. 31 for all established outposts. All charter renewals should be submitted during this time, although charters submitted after Oct. 31 will be accepted. There’s never a wrong time to charter your outpost for the year, and every day you delay you are really costing your church more to operate Royal Ranger ministry than is necessary. Chartering is a beneficial program that allows churches to receive discounts and exclusive resources when they register (charter) their Royal Rangers program with the national office. Chartering provides important information to the national Royal Rangers ministry that enables them to monitor and shape the success and well-being of Royal Rangers and supports the ongoing development and improvement of the ministry. For additional information on chartering visit the chartering FAQ page on the national Royal Rangers website at www.royalrangers.com. The benefits of chartering are many. The greatest, of course, is that you benefit from the services provided by the national and district leadership teams as they endeavor to continually improve and grow Royal Rangers for local church success. The following list illustrates the many benefits of chartering available to you and your outpost. 15% discount on Ranger gear when ordered via the Ranger Online Superstore 6 TOMAHAWK July - August 2016 Where, How, and When 15% discount on all national and regional training events 15% discount on national and regional activities like Camporama, Rendezvous, national LEAD Conference, and more. 15% discount on district training events 15% discount on select district Royal Rangers activities and events Each chartered member of your outpost will receive a copy of the Rangers NOW newsletter, the National Royal Rangers Ministry's official print communication piece. Your outpost will get one free copy of the Outpost Promotional Kit, which is full of resources like promotional videos, reproducible touch cards, clip art, customizable banners to advertise your ministry and/or decorate your meeting rooms, and more! Access to download Outpost Navigator, a data-tracking tool to record and track boys’ and leaders’ advancements An official outpost number to wear on your uniform Chartered outposts are included in the search results for the "Outpost Locator" search feature on the national web site. As you can see, the benefits of chartering are huge! The discount on products and events alone should well exceed the cost of chartering. Chartering can be completed online at www.royalrangers.com. Information can be submitted online and fees processed using the church’s (or individual’s) preferred payment card. The discounts and charter benefits are available 24-48 hours after online processing. For your ease of use, the charter information is stored on a secure database that allows quick processing in future years as relevant fields are automatically populated. You simply verify or update the information. Those wishing to print a completed form and mail payment by check may do so. Please note, due to the additional data entry of mail in forms, an additional $15 processing fee will apply. Once the charter is processed by the national office, the discounts and chartering benefits will be available in approximately 24 - 48 hours. New outposts may charter at anytime of the year, and fees for their first charter period will be prorated. All outposts that have not chartered within the last five years will be considered a new charter. Outposts that have chartered within the past five years and submit their charter and payment after Oct. 31 will not be prorated. The only outstanding question is, “Should I charter my outpost?” The answer, of course, is, “Yes!” Chartering not only makes you a nationwide partner in a biblical cause but also offers you and your outpost benefits that far exceed the cost of the charter. It is simply more cost effective to charter than not.

SEPTEMBER ALUMNI (Continued from page 10) plus) may continue to serve as a vital part of the Royal Rangers Ministry. RRA provides an opportunity for leaders to share their knowledge, expertise and experiences with boys and local commanders. The RRA provides the opportunity for you to continue to be involved in Rangers as your time permits. Royal Rangers leaders upon reaching retirement age or when medical problems or other reasons prohibit them from serving as a commander, may feel they no longer have a part in Royal Rangers ministry. This is certainly not the case, as many of these leaders have a wealth of knowledge and experiences and are willing and able to serve on a limited basis. RRA will provide the structure by which these Royal Rangers leaders may continue to be a vital part of Royal Rangers and assist their districts on their time schedule. The objective of the RRA is to provide opportunities for service and ministry for former/retired Royal Rangers leaders. Those interested in joining the ranks of the Royal Ranger Alumni can contact their sectional commander or sectional RRA coordinator for assistance. 10 Men’s Ministries Motorcycle Ride (North-Winchester-Cumberland) 15-17 Extreme Makeover 23-25 FCF Fall Adventure OCTOBER 8 District Staff Meeting 14-15 Men’s Conference NOVEMBER 12 Regional Royal Rangers Business Meeting TOMAHAWK July - August 2016 11 POTOMAC DISTRICT ROYAL RANGERS STAFF EXECUTIVE STAFF Rev.
