Trail life

Trail Life USA partners with churches and parents across America as the premier national character development organization for young men which produces the next generation of godly and responsible husbands, fathers, and citizens. In over 750 churches in nearly 50 states, fathers and sons are connecting, relationship are deepening, and legacies are beginning as a new generation of godly leaders rises up. 
“Walk Worthy” this is the Trail Life USA motto

Our Mission is “To guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure”.  We meet weekly and have a monthly outing. Plans for our outings for the next 12 months include caving, canoeing, an overnight on the USS Kidd, camping, backpacking and more.

Colossians 1:10 “ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”

• Boys on the Woodlands Trail (Kindergarten through 5th grade) gain knowledge about outdoor skills, citizenship, character, friendship, and faith through fun activities, awards, and skill instruction.

• As Navigators, boys in grades 6-8 gain understanding of their values and beliefs under the guidance of godly male role models through being responsible in outdoor adventures and in their home and school life. They explore areas of interest and earn Trail Badges for advancement.

• As Adventurers, young men in 9-12th grades mature in wisdom and faith through more difficult challenges and leadership activities with Christian men walking alongside. They plan and lead outdoor events and large projects while exercising leadership positions in the Troop, even mentoring some of the younger Trailmen.
