Trail Life is a national organization with a mission to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others and experience outdoor adventure. The Rock chartered the troop in 2024, which is currently the only troop meeting in Gainesville.
Age Range: Boys ages 5-18
Adult Memberships are also available as we highly encourage the Dad's to be involved as well.
On the Woodlands Trail, boys age 5-10 gain knowledge about outdoor skills, citizenship, character, friendship, and faith through fun activities, awards, and skill instruction.
As Navigators, boys age 11-13 gain understanding of their values and beliefs under the guidance of godly male role models through being responsible in outdoor adventures and in their home and school life. They explore areas of interest and earn Trail Badges for advancement.
As Adventurers, young men ages 14-17 mature in wisdom and faith through more difficult challenges and leadership activities with Christian men walking alongside. They plan and lead outdoor events and large projects while exercising leadership positions in the Troop, even mentoring some of the younger Trailmen.
Meeting Times
Our troop meets weekly on Thursdays from 6:30PM to 7:45PM at our north campus on the property behind the parking lot beginning. Occasionally we meet on a Saturday afternoon, where the troop attends a community event. We a few weekend, troop camping trips for the fathers and sons as well as a family campout.
