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 from Kindergarten through 12th grade 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.
Trail Life USA is a great Christian organization that helps develop character and leadership in boys and young men.
-Franklin Graham CEO Samaritan's Purse
Our church is excited to bring this amazing program to our young men in our fellowship and community. We are taking REGISTRATIONS NOW and we will begin early 2021 meeting as a troop. Pray with us and seek how you might be a vital part of this ministry with us! We anticipate God to do great things in these young boys lives.

Trail Life costs can vary depending on the age of the child, on whether this is the Trailman's first program year, and whether they grow out of their uniform.
Parents should expect the total cost of a Woodlands Trailman (k-5 grade) to be from $127 to $142 for the first year and $77 to $92 in following years. This cost includes membership fees (see below), program materials, and troop uniform.
Parents should expect the total cost of a Navigator or Adventurer (6-12 grade) to be from $165 to &180 for the first year and $80 to $95 in following years. This cost includes membership fees (see below), program materials, troop uniform, and standard.
There are two annual membership fees for a Trailman. The first cost is an annual membership fee of $26 per Trailman paid directly to Trail Life USA when you register your boy. The second one is local Troop dues of $58 per Trailman. These dues cover an annual assessment of $20 per Trailman that the local troop must pay to the national office, as well as the cost of various awards and achievements the boys may earn during the year.
Parents should also expect to assume costs for camping trips and outings. These trips will be as affordable as possible, depending on the adventure, and usually costs $5 to $20 per Trailman. High adventure trips could cost a great deal more. These are adventures that are planned well in advance and are reserved for older boys. Fundraising events should be planned in order to off-set the costs associated with these great opportunities.
We hope that cost is not a determining factor in registering your child for a full year of adventure. Contact Jessica Forney if you have any questions at 970-640-5758 or e-mail at tlbooks@aplaceofgracegbc.com
