The Order of Rapscallions


Rapscallions is the highest rank within the RR&R.  The Order of Raspscallions is the constituted company of all Rapscallions. 

An individual becomes a Rapscallion by successfully completing a Rogue's Challenge.  A Rogue's Challenge is presented by the Order of Rapscallions to individuals who have attained the rank of Rogue.

The Order constituted itself and adopted a charter in March 1996. On January 18, 1997, the Order hosted the First Rogue Dinner at which the first batch of Rogue Certificates and Rogue Challenges were distributed to all who had attained the rank of Rogue.
