+===== Rangers =====
 Rangers are volunteers who help other Schönburners co-create a great burn. Rangers know the [[canvas|White Origami]] framework and the [[House Rules]]. If you are uncertain ask a Ranger and they might be able to help you make a safe & good decisions or point you to a person that can help you. Rangers can help resolve conflicts, keep participants safe, and support [[Site Leads|Site Lead]] when needed. Mind you, this is a sober shift. We expect you to show up sober and prepared.

-## How we developed Rangering for Schloss Schönburn and Schönburn
+==== How we developed Rangering for Schloss Schönburn and Schönburn ====
 : Leobard thought it would be a good idea to ranger and Leobard likes walkie talkies. Read [[https://schlossschoenburn.slack.com/archives/C5RP19LFM/p1535210855000100|this thread on rangering]] that started this initiative. Then Leobard wrote this wiki page. In 2018, Leobard asked around for others to join as team leads, with the intention to make leading the ranger team a rotating role. This is a perfect role for people who are new to Burning Man, want to contribute to the community, and have their senses together.

And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff—I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I’d do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy. But that’s the only thing I’d really like to be.”
