Procedure

Ranger candidates can earn requirements on their own or with other Venturers. Candidates can work with outside consultants such as a scuba diving instructor, for instance. Advisors and consultants must sign a Ranger candidate's record sheet found in the Venturing Awards and Recognition Handbook. Venturers who have completed the requirements should have their Advisor review the completed requirements, verify completion of the award, and order the award and certificate through the local Scout shop.

Recognition

After months of experiencing and acquiring skills on a wide variety of outdoor/high-adventure interests and sharing those skills with others, the Ranger will receive a sterling silver medal that features a powder horn superimposed over a compass dial. The medal is worn suspended from a green and white ribbon, which is suspended from a silver Ranger bar.
