Ahoy, mates! On Saturday, October 1, At The Farm in Gardiner, MA, Southern New England District Royal Rangers held their Ranger Kids Day. It was a fun day filled with games and other activities, and the Guest Speaker was none other than NNED’s own, former district director Jerry Love, decked out in his famous pirate outfit, which was fitting for the occasion, because this was the final voyage of the USS Ranger pirate ship, which has set sail on Northern New England’s lakes in the past, the last time being the 2004 “Master and Commander” Camporee in Vermont.

Whenever NNED has gotten into the pirate spirit, the USS Ranger has been the ship of choice! There have been many fond memories of the ship throughout both NNED and SNED, and has played a big part in some amazing evening pageants!

Rangers got to take one last ride before the ship was officially decommissioned, and who better to bid the USS Ranger farewell than Commander Jerry himself! It made SNED’s Ranger Kids Day an event to remember! Indeed, the USS Ranger will be gone, but not forgotten!
