Hugely benefitted our students
The presence of Woodcraft Rangers on the campus has hugely benefited our students. Their programs play a vital role in our students’ free time after school – a time when students are vulnerable to the dangers in their community.

I like Woodcraft Rangers because it is a safe space. Coming to Woodcraft after school always helps me because I can do homework, learn things or just hang out with friends.
