Christ-Centered. Boy-Focused.

Trail Life USA is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused mentoring and discipleship journey that speaks to the heart of a boy. Established on timeless values derived from the Bible and set in the context of outdoor adventure, boys from Kindergarten through 12th grade are engaged in a Troop setting by male mentors where they are challenged to grow in character, understand their purpose, serve their community, and develop practical leadership skills to carry out the mission for which they were created.

For about $30 per year plus local Troop dues, boys experience weekly meetings and regular adventures in a Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused outdoor environment where a boy naturally wants to emulate men and life lessons are clearly taught.
