North Texas Royal Rangers

New District Director Announced

(October 2026)

Dear North Texas Family,
    I am excited to announce the appointment of Mike Lyon as our new North Texas Royal Rangers Commander.
    Mike brings decades of ministry experience, a heart for discipleship, and a deep commitment to developing the next generation of godly men and leaders. Throughout his years of service in Royal Rangers and the local church, he has invested in mentoring young men, equipping leaders, and strengthening ministry across North Texas.
    In addition to his ministry experience, Mike brings a strong background in organizational leadership, team development, and project management. His ability to lead teams, build relationships, and bring vision to action will be a tremendous asset as we continue to strengthen and grow Royal Rangers throughout our district.
    We believe Royal Rangers plays a vital role in helping boys grow in their relationship with Christ, discover their God-given purpose, and become men of faith and character. I am confident that Mike's passion for this mission, combined with his leadership experience, will help move this ministry forward in meaningful ways.
    Please join me in welcoming Mike Lyon to this new role! I encourage you to pray for Mike and his family as he steps into this season of leadership. We are grateful for his willingness to serve and look forward to all God has in store for North Texas Royal Rangers.
    Together, let's continue investing in the next generation!

Sincerely,
Dr. Gaylan D. Claunch
North Texas District Superintendent

Camp Upgrades

August Status
Renovations on all the buildings continues. Church Mobilization is doing the work under the direction of Stacia - Mark Chapman’s daughter. All the buildings received new windows. The store foundation was leveled so both doors worked. The bathroom in the store will be enlarged and the store will also receive new flooring. Hardee siding was installed on the store, lodge and first aid. All the buildings were painted with the same scheme and all visible wood was replaced with cedar. The bathhouses will get cement countertops for the sink areas. Both now have tank less water heaters. The pavilion was painted both inside and out. Bracing was installed to the inside of the pavilion. A drain was installed for the snack bar sink.

FCF Family Camp

October 23-25, 2026

The theme of the 2026 Family Days Camp is NEW TRAILS - FOLLOW GOD’S CALL ALONG THE SHAWNEE TRAIL based upon Isaiah chapter 43, versus 18 and 19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” There are new things going on in the physical environment at the Royal Rangers camp facility and there are also new things happening within the Royal Rangers ministry in North Texas. This is a very exciting time to be a participant in Royal Rangers because God is bringing in fresh water from His glorious, heavenly body of spiritual water. Can you see it? Come to camp and explore God’s vision and purpose for you.
