... Southeast Region Royal Ranger 2008 Expo Registration is ONLINE! The Light is GREEN - GO! ...
Please follow these guidelines for a better online registration experience.

Registering as Married Couple:
This option permits entering more than 2 in your group. When asked for the number in your group, enter “2”. The software allows other numbers. If you enter a number other than “2” your registration records will be flagged and subsequently handled manually. You will be contacted to correct the information and may have to re-register.

Pay Later:
The software asks for billing information even though it is not needed and will not be used. We will attempt to honor your selections. Once we receive your payment, you will be contacted to confirm that your selections have been confirmed. If you delay mailing your payment, or if you select pay at the door, you may find that your selections are not available because the slots fill as paid, not necessarily as registrations are received.

Arabian Nights:
Note the change that all 80 seats will now be available for $26.00 each.

Please Enter your District if asked for Organization

Print each page before proceeding to the next while you register. The software does not provide you a summary.

It will help us better manage the records when you register as a couple (literally a group of 2) if you will enter your names for the GROUP field. For example, JOHN AND JANE DOE

Civilian Marksmanship Program Description
CMP is a dynamic program to help you start an air rifle shooting program in your outpost - They will have great information on how to get started on a low budget, resources for training certified instructors, air guns offered at a reasonable cost, how to build a low cost indoor portable shooting range and how to have a shooting team ready for competition on a local, state and national level.
