Recognition of Royal Ranger Gold Medal of Achievement

Norris Paul Carey, III was found worthy of the Highest Award of the National Royal Rangers, The Gold Medal of Achievement (GMA)
The GMA recognizes boys who have met all the requirements established by the Royal Ranger National Office.
Less than 1% of all active Royal Rangers nationally have ever achieved this award.
Since its inception in 1964, (55 years ago) only 651 rangers nationally have ever achieved this high honor.

Norris Carey, a son of Maryland's eastern shore is number 652!

Norris Carey, is a recent graduate of Stepping Stones Learning Academy in Fruitland and is currently enrolled at Wor-Wic Tech community college.


He is pursuing a degree in criminal justice and wishes to pursue a career in either law enforcement or the military.

He is following in the footsteps of:

  • his late grandfather, Norris Paul Carey Sr., of Fruitland, a veteran of the Air Force and Army and who was also the first police chief of Fruitland Police Department,
  • and his father, N. Paul Carey, Jr. of Fruitland, retired, Maryland Natural Resources Police.
The ceremony for this prestigious award was held at Delmarva Evangelistic Church on Gordy Rd, Salisbury.
