Trail Life Troop VA-2311 for Boys
Trail Life Troop VA-2311 is an exciting outdoor youth development organization steeped in the values of our Catholic faith. It is dedicated to a mission “… to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.” The Trail Life program is open to boys ages 6-10, and it goes on throughout the school year. The adult leaders focus their meetings and activities around seven branches, or themes: outdoor skills, science & technology, values, heritage, hobbies, life skills, and sports & fitness with opportunities to advance in the program.

Here is more information about Trail Life:
It is 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 encourages troops to protect the male-focused emphasis in camping and adventure activities. We also recognize the family as the primary building block of society. In order to facilitate this, fathers are encouraged to participate with their sons, and Charter Organizations are encouraged to create a “family-centered” youth-enrichment experience where on one night, in one location, boys and their dads can participate in Trail Life USA, and girls and their moms can be involved with American Heritage Girls. There are many obvious strengths to this model, and those who are able to experience it will discover lasting impact and accelerated spiritual growth for every member of the family.
