Ranger Skills Ranger skills offer Junior Canadian Rangers the training required to become capable, skilled and active members of their communities. Ranger skills are taught by experienced individuals, and involve practical exercises and hands-on training. It is here that Junior Canadian Rangers learn about the important role their instructors serve in the Canadian Forces and become acquainted with the customs of the military, including marching, saluting and care for their uniforms and equipment.
Traditional Skills Traditional Skills are those that expressly take into account the background and culture of the Junior Canadian Rangers in any given community. Native and Aboriginal Elders are involved in teaching these important skills where applicable, and community members are sometimes invited to participate alongside the Junior Canadian Rangers in learning about “lost skills” and recapturing their ancestral traditions where they have been forgotten. Examples of traditional skills include hunting, fishing, local native language, traditional music and dance, traditional cooking and religious or spiritual ceremonies. Life Skills
Examples of life skills include good nutrition, staying in school, drug and alcohol abuse awareness, and citizenship. The new PHASE (Preventing Harassment and Abuse through Successful Education) Programme will also be taught to all Junior Canadian Rangers as part of the Department of National Defence’s commitment to providing a safe learning environment. |
