Trail Life Troop 0221

Trail Life Troop PA-0221 is a church-based, Christ-centered, boy-focused mentoring and discipleship ministry serving boys and families in the Ephrata and surrounding Lancaster County community. Chartered by DOVE Westgate Church, the troop helps boys from kindergarten through 12th grade grow into courageous young men who honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and enjoy the adventure of the outdoors.

Through camping, hiking, outdoor skills, service projects, leadership opportunities, Bible studies, advancement programs, and community activities, boys develop confidence, responsibility, practical skills, meaningful friendships, and a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ. Caring Christian adult leaders mentor the boys and model biblical character and servant leadership.

The troop welcomes families from all churches and backgrounds. Parents are encouraged to participate in meetings, campouts, activities, and volunteer leadership. Trail Life Troop PA-0221 is chartered through DOVE Westgate Church and is affiliated with Trail Life USA.
