About Trail Life USA:

Trail Life USA is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused 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 ages 5 to 18 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. Our Mission is to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure. Our vision is to be the premier national character development organization for young men which produces godly and responsible husbands, fathers, and citizens. We have Troops in all 50 states and over 30,000 members.

Our core values define who we are. They are more than just words on a document for us and guide all our Right People/Right Seat decisions. We are:

• Mission-focused

We believe a heart for the mission is as critical as skill-set. An appreciation for the impact that advancing biblical masculinity can have on families and our society, as well as the role it can play in the kingdom of God, is essential.

• Collaborative

We believe that, while collaboration may not be the most efficient way to work, it is the most effective. Spending time together enables us to utilize complementary gifts to achieve great results.

• Overcomers

Trail Life USA staff is committed to overcoming. Challenges are seen as opportunities, not obstacles. We believe that God provides everything we need to accomplish what He desires.

• Truthful in love

We believe speaking the truth in love, even if it is awkward, is a necessary step in building trust and respect (Ephesians 4:15-16). This habit, when practiced to benefit another, the ministry, or a process, is appropriate, no matter the role.

If that sounds like a mission you can get behind then keep reading!
