YEARLY SUMMER EVENT

What is Tennessee Pow Wow?

TN Royal Rangers has a big statewide camp once a year for either three days or six days. We have Spirit-filled services each day as well as devotions each morning at formation. Boys have opportunities to experience Jesus with their friends, participate in team and individual competitions, work on crafts, and even run/walk in a 5K if they want. We are committed to keeping the costs down to make it affordable for everyone who wants to join us at Pow Wow. All TN Royal Rangers are welcome to attend. We often have pastors stop by to visit. Sometimes we have boys and commanders join us from nearby states when we have room. We have mostly tent camping but we also have a few cabins on a first come basis for a small fee, and we have a nice showerhouse. We have security personnel who continually patrol the area, with our head of security often riding a horse.

We rub shoulders and grow together at TN Pow Wow. We discuss missions and often award a missions scholarship to one boy at camp. Sometimes we just sit around a fire together.

We owe the great success of our Pow Wow to the many men and boys who volunteer to run the various games, and events. Competitions include Skeet Shooting, .22 Rifle, BB Gun, Archery, Watermelon Eating, Tug-of-War, Soccer 5 on 5, Best Outpost Standard, Best Gateway, Best Campsite, and the 5K. Frontier craftsmen teach Blacksmithing, Woodworking, Metalwork, Beadwork, Leathercraft, and more. Some of the other activities are Ga Ga Ball, Laser Tag, Paintball, and Archery Tag.
