Adventure Rangers Advancement Trail
Every great challenge a young man accepts helps to build his character, increase
his determination to achieve, and improve his ability to set goals and fulfill them.
The Adventure Rangers Advancement Trail offers such a challenge-the Trail to the
Gold Medal of Achievement. It is a plan to help you earn the Gold Medal of Achievement
(GMA), a medal of great distinction and honor. It was first offered in 1964 and
the tradition continues to this day.
The key to progressing on the Advancement Trail is earning merits. Each merit has
a colored border, indicating its color group. After completing a specific number
of merits in the required color groups, the Adventure Ranger can earn one of the
Advancement awards. For example, the Advancement awards leading to the Bronze Medal
of Achievement are the Powder Horn, Bowie Knife, Tomahawk, and Long Rifle.
After completing each set of steps and a few other requirements, the three medals
he'll earn are:
|
|
|
Bronze Medal of Achievement
|
|
|
|
Silver Medal of Achievement
|
|
|
|
Gold Medal of Achievement
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to earn the merits on the Adventure Rangers Advancement Trail.
Some of the merits will be earned during the weekly meetings, while others will
require extra effort outside of meeting times. The merits can be earned in any order,
and while the Gold Medal of Achievement has specific merits that are required, the
other merits that are earned are up to the individual Ranger's choice.
