Welcome

Welcome to our Trail Life Troop KY-1691 site. Our troop is open to all who live in the Winchester and Clark County areas. We are a ministry of Christ Church of Winchester.

Trail Life is a USA 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.

If you are interested in having your boys and young men participate in this program, we encourage you to contact us. We can help to answer any questions and keep you up to date important information regarding our start on this incredible adventure.

Adventure

Boys love adventure. Camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities help build deep relationships and provide a special context for leadership, problem solving, conflict resolution, and character building. We also value the outdoor focus of our program as a unique means of helping a boy see and appreciate the wonder, majesty, and grandness of God as reflected in His creation.

Character

Some boys’ programs are very focused on helping the boys achieve as many awards as he can in the shortest period of time. To help them achieve the highest rankings and awards the program has to offer. In contrast we are more concerned with building character than with earning badges and ranks. The focus should always be on building character over merely earning awards.

Leadership

Leadership with a servant’s attitude by both adults and youth is a core value of our troop. Servant leadership is characterized by humility and the willingness to work alongside others and not just “boss” people around. Leading by example and sacrifice are also qualities of servant leadership.
