After nearly 7 years as the South Central West Sectional Commander, John Bender has turned over the reigns to Cmdr. Gary Gerould of Outpost 311, Greater Johnstown Christian Fellowship, Johnstown, PA.  John is not; however, stepping out of the Royal Rangers.  He is simply relinquishing his post so that he can spend more time nourishing his own outpost and spending time with his young family.  John has been a key member of our district staff over the years helping us to develop many areas of our ministry and will continue as the president of the GMAA and Senior Commander for his Outpost.  He has done an outstanding job in his position and mentoring our young boys.  He will also continue working with the PDJLTA helping to develop training camps and providing valuable input to the training camps staff.

Thank you John for a job well done.
