Royal Ambassadors - RA's

A Royal Ambassador (RA) is a boy in grades 1-5 committed to living out the RA Pledge. This pledge is part of personal and chapter (group of RAs) accountability.

"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." 2 Corinthians 5:20a, NIV

"As a Royal Ambassador I will do my best,
to become a well-informed, responsible follower of Christ;
to have a Christ-like concern for all people;
to learn how the message of Christ is carried around the world;
to work with others in sharing Christ;
and, to keep myself clean and healthy in mind and body."

"Learning About Missions"

The Royal Ambassadors is a Southern Baptist organization that teaches boys how the message of Christ is spread around the world. In addition to learning about missions they participate in activities to help earn money for various mission projects. They also learn about camping and related skills.

Boys participating in the advancement programs earn patches and badges for learning new skills and achieving goals. Most RA chapters are divided into two age groups: "Lads" for grades 1, 2, and 3, and "Crusaders" for grades 4 and 5. Some churches have a division for older boys called "Challengers."
