Trail Life Troop TN-5667
Walk worthy, together.
We're a local troop of dads and sons hiking, camping, serving, and growing into the men God made us to be — one trail at a time.
What we're about
Three things shape every meeting, hike, and campout we do together.
Adventure
Hikes, campouts, climbing, paddling, marksmanship — boys learn skills and grit by doing.
Character
Rooted in Scripture and the Trailman's Oath. We aim to raise sons who keep their word.
Brotherhood
Patrols of brothers walking with their fathers and trusted leaders. No boy walks alone.
Our conviction
Let boys be boys.
Trail Life is built for boys — the way God wired them. Dirt under fingernails, lungs full of cold air, knives sharpened with a dad nearby, and brothers who push them to be braver and kinder than they thought they could be. That's been true since our first campout, and it will be true for every boy who walks this trail after them.
Age groups
A trail for every boy, K through 12
Every Trailman starts in Woodlands and grows into Navigator and Adventurer programs as he gets older. Patrols meet together, camp together, and serve together.
Woodlands Trail
Grades K–5Discovery, fun, family-led adventure.
Navigators
Grades 6–8Leadership, outdoor skills, deeper friendships.
Adventurers
Grades 9–12Real responsibility, big trips, mentoring younger boys.
