Boys Need Men
“A boy can’t learn to be a man without a man to show him. I started Trail Life at my church for that reason. Away from the distractions of a culture that often pushes faith to the margins, the boys are able to learn about their Creator, his creation and their role in it.”
Milestones on the Journey to Manhood
Troopmaster Clint calls each boy by name. With their Standard in hand, Trailmen say the Oath and are commissioned to cross over into manhood. Upon crossing, each boy is paired with an older boy as a visual reminder of Proverbs 27:17, ‘Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”
