Trail Life USA
Trail Life USA is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered 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.
The moto “Walk Worthy” encompasses the integral aspect of the Trail Life discipleship process. To walk a worthy life means to be devoted, to be a disciple of Christ, to be disciplined, and to demonstrate that to your community. This happens through fundamental truths and foundational knowledge of faith and intregrity coupled with intentional integration with our world view and the service of others. Troops participate in hands-on activities and practical applications of these principles.
- Devotional – Engaging with spiritual truth in a regular transformative manner.
- Discipleship – Living your faith through service and learning about how others have done so.
- Discipline – Practicing intentional activities that result in spiritual growth like regular prayer, fasting, journaling, memorizing Scripture, attending church services, giving, and serving.
- Demonstration – Evaluating and sharing Worthy Life experiences with parents, Troop, and/or church.
