Trail Life Troop 0221

Our focused ministry centers on raising up the next generation of Godly men through Trail Life USA, a Christ-centered, boy-focused outdoor discipleship program. Since our founding in 2020, we have faithfully pursued our mission to guide boys to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure. Rooted in the biblical truths of servant leadership and the model of Jesus Christ, we intentionally train boys to become men of character who stand for truth and live with purpose.

As a local Trail Life troop chartered by Dove Westgate church in Ephrata, we provide a structured, age-progressive program for boys from kindergarten through 12th grade. Through camping, hiking, outdoor skills, and leadership development, boys grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). Our approach combines physical challenge with spiritual formation—encouraging boys to walk worthy of the calling they have received in Christ Jesus.

We are proud to be part of the larger Trail Life USA movement, a national organization with a growing network of Christian troops. We affirm the essential role of male mentorship and the biblical call for older men to teach and train the younger (Titus 2:2,6). Parents and adult mentors play a vital part in modeling a Christ-honoring life as they lead boys through Trail Life’s robust program of service, outdoor adventure, skill development, and discipleship.

Our troop is chartered by Dove Westgate and aligns with the Trail Life USA statement of faith and values. Through godly mentorship and a clear vision of biblical manhood, we are building up boys to become courageous, competent, and Christlike leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
