What is Trail Life?

Trail Life is a nationwide Christ-centered, boy-led character, leadership, and outdoor adventure ministry for boys ages 5-17 and their dads.

As a national organization, Trail Life provides a board-approved curriculum, leader training, and age-appropriate advancement program so your son can grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man. Our troop leaders don't have to invent a program from scratch—we have a proven framework that helps boys develop character, leadership skills, outdoor competence, and a deeper faith.

Trail Life isn't like other scouting programs. We are unapologetically Christ-centered. Trail Life troops don't simply rent space from churches; every troop is a ministry of a local church and a partner in that church's mission.
