Our Programs
Woodlands Trail (Ages 5-10)
Our younger boys participate in the Woodlands Trail program, which focuses on:
- Fun, hands-on activities
- Basic outdoor skills
- Character development through biblical truths
- Age-appropriate adventures and achievements
The Woodlands Trail program is designed to introduce young boys to outdoor adventures and character-building activities in a safe, supportive environment. Through engaging games, crafts, and simple outdoor skills, boys learn important values and begin to develop a sense of responsibility and teamwork.
Navigators and Adventurers (Ages 11-17)
Our older boys join the Navigators and Adventurers program, which emphasizes:
- Advanced outdoor and survival skills
- Leadership development and mentoring
- More challenging adventures and expeditions
- Deeper spiritual growth and application of faith
The Navigators and Adventurers program builds upon the foundation laid in Woodlands Trail, offering more complex challenges and opportunities for leadership. Participants engage in advanced outdoor skills, take on leadership roles within the troop, and participate in more demanding adventures. This program also deepens the focus on spiritual growth, encouraging young men to apply their faith in practical ways.
Both programs are designed to challenge and inspire boys at their respective developmental stages, fostering growth in faith, character, and practical skills throughout their journey in Trail Life.
