There were 8 Rangers aged 14-18years with full membership during the year meeting fortnightly from Sept until June.

There were 2 local residential opportunities during the year for the Rangers to attend. A December trip with the Movilla Abbey Guides and an outdoor residential in April part funded by King George VI funds in Lorne Estate.
