Trail Life

What is Trail Life?

Trail Life USA is a Christ-centered, outdoor adventure program that empowers boys to develop character, leadership, and faith through hands-on experiences. Rooted in biblical values, Trail Life encourages boys to grow spiritually while building practical skills and strong friendships.

Our troop OR-1857 is dedicated to providing a fun, faith-filled environment where boys can explore the outdoors, serve their community, and strengthen their walk with Christ. We meet regularly for exciting activities, service projects, and outdoor adventures, all designed to help boys become godly men of character.

Who can join?

All boys five years-old through Middle School are welcome to join! As our boys get older, we plan on offering Trail Life for High Schoolers. If you want to learn more about Trail Life, you can also visit www.traillifeusa.com.

When & where do you meet?

We meet for troop meetings at Jacksonville Presbyterian Church on the first three Thursdays of the month. We also meet once a month for our fun 'Hit the Trail' event. Past 'Hit the Trail' events include building rockets, laser tag, sledding, and hiking at Table Rock.

Is there a cost?

We believe every boy should have the opportunity to participate in Trail Life, so our troop covers the cost of uniforms and program materials. However parents are responsible for the annual Trail Life USA membership fee of $42.27 per child. If financial assistance is needed, please let us know - we want to make sure every family can be a part of this adventure!
