Raising Godly Boys
Read more about our Proven Process for growing boys into Godly men.

Far too many boys suffer from an inability to grasp a clear vision of what it means to be a man. In a culture lacking any clear vision of positive masculinity, we must provide boys with a template. This short book provides answers and lays out a Proven Process to Guide, Ground, Appreciate, and inspire boys in a manner that reverses the rising tide of cultural confusion and preserves a legacy for the men engaged in making a difference.

Let Boys Be Boys
Boys and Girls are different. "As leaders of boys in schools, homeschools, churches, and youth organizations, we must recognize and affirm their unique strengths and challenges. We are positioned to instill the principles and character traits that can prepare boys to become courageous, successful, focused men. But will we?" How can we successfully engage and disciple boys? If your attempts look anything like a typical classroom or Sunday school class, you are fighting a losing battle. Boys aren't defective, they are different and to engage and disciple them effectively, we must Let Boys be Boys!

Discover three winning strategies from Counselor and Author Mark T. Hancock to engage and guide the next generation of young men to honor God, lead with integrity, and serve others.

5 Critical Needs of Boys
Boys are getting a tough break. Everywhere a boy goes he's told to sit still, be quiet, and behave like the girls. But, properly channeled and intentionally challenged—the exuberance, drive, and daring of healthy boys is exactly what's right with society.

The need for boy-specific activities and mentoring that provides challenge and reward has never been greater! If we fail this generation, it won't be because we over-challenged them. It will be because we under-challenged them. 

Trail Life USA CEO Mark Hancock reveals the unique challenges facing boys today and shares five essentials you can use to help a boy grow to become a godly man.

Proven Process
More than ever, boys need a uniquely masculine program where their assertive, audacious, and adventurous nature is celebrated, not sequestered.

Too many boys are turning to virtual worlds of television, video games, digital media, and the internet to find realms they can conquer and areas where they can excel. The result of this virtual conquest is often apathy, apparent rebellion, or outright resistance to real-world challenge.

Trail Life USA is an environment where boys thrive! Adults are equipped to lead a program in a structured outdoor environment where boys are engaged in real-world challenge and experience camping, hiking, and fishing; they develop skills in riflery, archery, and canoeing; and learn character and leadership in a practical hands-on manner that is naturally engaging.

In the outdoors, the experience of adults is never obsolete; boys find mentors, fathers and sons connect, important relationships are fostered, and boys find opportunity to achieve significant accomplishment.
