National Rendezvous 2026
Our flagship national camp — a week of adventure, worship and friendly competition with outposts travelling from every state. The highlight of the Rangers year, and for many kids, the highlight of their whole year.
Registrations open soon. Outposts should start planning travel now — families new to Rangers are welcome to enquire through their nearest outpost.
The rest of the year
The rhythm of outpost life.
Weekly
Outpost meetings
Weekly mentoring sessions in churches and community halls across Australia, every school term — skills, badges, games and the council fire.
Each term
Camps & hikes
Outposts and districts run weekend camps, day hikes and family nights through the year — where the badges earned on weeknights get put to real use.
Ongoing
Leader training
Beyond the August academy, leaders train through the year — so every crew is mentored by people equipped for the privilege.
