Trail Life USA

OPEN HOUSE
Monday, September 30th
6:15 PM.

Weekly Meetings resume in October
Monday Nights
6:15 PM – 7:30 PM

We believe that both boys and girls need programs that are designed for their unique and valuable strengths and traits.

A ‘one-size-fits-all’ gender-blurring cultural trend that favors ‘sit still, be quiet, pay attention’ environments is hurting boys. Their rough-and-tumble nature doesn’t fit there. The result is that boys are falling behind academically and being labeled with social and learning disorders for behaving normally.

Trail Life USA understands the needs of boys and strives to provide an environment where they can fully be boys so they can develop into winning and confident men.

We are excited to enter into of 2nd year of Trail Life, focused on the Woodlands Trail.
(Woodland Trails) is for ages 5-10.
These boys will gain knowledge about outdoor skills, citizenship, character, friendship,
and faith through fun activities, awards, and skill instruction.

Woodland Trails …. What is it?

In Trail Life USA, troops are organized according to biblical principles in Proverbs 24:3-4, reflecting developmentally appropriate groupings of boys (K-U-W-L): Woodlands trail (Knowledge), Navigators (Understanding), Adventurers (Wisdom), and Guidon (Life).

The Woodlands Trail Program is designed for boys of elementary-school age, comprising two-year programs for three age groups. To ensure that activities are age-appropriate and progressively challenging, for the Woodlands Trail Program, boys are grouped together with boys of their own age:

• Fox (Kindergarten-1st grade and 5 years old by October 31)
• Hawk (2nd-3rd grade and 7 years old by October 31)
• Mountain Lion (4th-5th grade and 9 years old by October 31)

PROGRAM BRANCHES

During each two-year program, the Trailmen (boys) participate in activities from among seven areas (known as branches), including:

• Heritage Branch
An exploration of American Heritage, Christian Heritage, and a boy’s own family heritage. Emphasis is placed on upholding the finest traditions of the heritage we obtain from our forefathers.
• Hobbies Branch
An exploration of various indoor and outdoor hobbies that demand varying levels of knowledge, skill, or aptitude.
• Life Skills Branch
Teaching life lessons ranging from the practical and mundane to higher-level interpersonal skill sets.
• Outdoor Skills Branch

• Science and Technology Branch
An exploration of physical and natural science concerning our created world.
• Sports and Fitness Branch
Having fun in the outdoors with sports and other activities.
• Values Branch
Instilling biblically based values in the boys. The central focus of this branch is teaching of the Christian faith.
