WHAT WOULD A GMA SAY ABOUT THAT? [S01E03]

image1If the National Offices stats are right and there are more than 250,000 chartered member nationwide then there must be even far more that have been impacted by Royal Rangers at one point in their lives.  It’s always fun to run into someone while traveling and find out what they know about Royal Rangers.  A team of rangers and commanders I was with were flying back into the country from a mission trip, and were waiting in the line at customs.  A border patrol agent at one of the stations flagged me over and as I approached he notice my Royal Ranger t-shirt and said, “Are you a ranger commander”?  I said yes and pointed to the group.  He reached into his bag and pulled out a royal ranger handbook.  He asked for the rest of the group to come over and quickly got us right through.  You just never know who you might run into.

In this episode we want to find out what the GMA’s are up to.  Each quarter we are going to interview a GMA from around the country and find out how getting the GMA impacted their lives and what advice they have for the rest of us.   If you’re a GMA and would be willing to be part of an upcoming episode please contact us at [email protected].  This episodes GMA is 2012 metal recipient from Outpost 169, Chandler Glotfelty.
