Royal Ambassador Updates for 2011-12

Royal Ambassadors is entering a time of change and transition. Several of those changes take effect for the 2011-12 curriculum year beginning with September 2011 issues of Lad and Crusader magazines and other RA resources.
 
The biggest change on the horizon is the return of RAs to the Woman's Missionary Union in 2012. Beginning with the fall 2012-13 curriculum year WMU will produce all resources for RAs. Churches and leaders will continue to receive their magazines and resources from the North American Mission Board through August 2012. Beginning in September 2012, those resources will come from WMU. You will find more information about the transition in the RA magazines and on this website soon.
 
The biggest change in resources for RAs in 2011-12 is the discontinuation of the Personal Growth Plan workbooks. Advancement is back and is completed during the RA chapter meeting. Leaders will find everything they need for RA advancement in the leader editions of Lad and Crusader magazines. There is no more homework and no more PGP. The vests, pins and patches all remain the same. The advancement system for earning them is the only thing that changed. This change also eliminates the cost of the PGP workbooks for each RA.
 
For the first time in eight years there is a slight increase in the subscription prices for Lad and Crusader magazines. The prices increased from $13.20 to $15.30 per year for a 12-month subscription for the student editions of Lad and Crusader magazines, and from $16.20 to $20.40 per year for the leader editions. The increase takes effect with the September issues. You may place your orders with customer service toll-free at 866-407-6262, or online www.nambstore.com.
 
Finally there is a change to the RA Resource Kit. The kit has been redesigned to be even further integrated into the chapter meetings. The change does require that each RA group have its own resource kit. If all of your RAs meet in one group, one kit is enough, but if you have two groups of Lads and two groups of Crusaders you will need four resource kits. The good news is that the price has decreased to $16.99, and that price still includes a DVD with missions videos and printable resources. Go to RA Curriculum Plans, 2011-2012 RA Curriculum Plans and Theme Interpretation  to learn more about the RA Resource Kit and changes for 2011-12.
