Stafford, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Royal Rangers of Northern Missouri and in earning the most prestigious 
award, the Gold Medal of Achievement.
  Andrew has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the 11 years Andrew has been involved with the 
Rangers, he has held numerous leadership positions, serving as Patrol 
Guide and Senior Patrol Guide. He also was involved in Frontiersmen
