As the outpost numeral suggests, this outpost is the first Royal Rangers group in Singapore. It started in 1977 at 4 Palm Grove Avenue with a group of pioneer boys and some adventurous young adults. Many of those pioneer boys later became the next generation leaders while those pioneer leaders moved on to take on council roles. The group was then under the leadership of Steven Teo and Nicholas Cho
o, who later became the first National Commander of Singapore. The outpost has since then grown and expanded. There were times in the late eighties where the parade strength clocked about 80 to 100 leaders and rangers at 4 Palm Grove parade ground. The group went on and started 4 more outstations (excluding the main outfit) namely, Sembawang Outstation, Jurong Outstation, Thomson Outstation and New City Outstation. The first Senior Commander of Outpost 1 was Cmdr. Steven Teo. He motivated the pioneer batch of leader and they completed the LTC course together. In 1981, he led the Singapore contingent from Outpost 1 to participate in the Australian Camporama. He was succeeded by Cmdr. Christopher Low when he left for Australia to pursue his MBA degree in 1987. Cmdr. Christopher Low took over the vision and directed the outpost until 1992. During this period, there were several deputy Senior Commanders under the leadership of Senior Commander Christopher Low, they were Mark Teo(Palm Grove Outstation, main outfit), Robert Tan Kwang Liang(Jurong Outstation), Andy Tan Kay Teck(Sembawang Outstation), Daniel Lee(Thomson Outstation), Julie Koh(New City Outstation) and Barnabas Loh Teck Choon(Hearing Impaired Ministry Outpost, a.k.a. In 1992, Councilman Daniel Leong took the role of Council Chairman as Senior Commander Christopher moved on to the Outpost Council. The deputy Senior Commanders were then promoted to Senior Commanders and were directed by the Council Chairman. Commander Daniel Leong has diligently led the outpost until 1998 when he relinquished the leadership to Councilman Michael Koh. Comander Micheal Koh is currently the Pastor-In-Charge of the outpost and serving along with him in the Outpost Council are Snr. Cmdr. Edina Choo and Deputy Snr. Cmdr. Siow Rong Qing.
