Trailblazers Kingdom Journey
Trailblazers - Ages 11 through 18 Hikers - Ages 5 through 10
Who are we?
We are a Christian-based, Restoration-based group seeking to be a positive influence in shaping boys into Godly men.
What do we do?
We teach respect for all of God's Creation though exploring the great outdoors. We set an example hoping that not only will generations of boys adhere to the straight and narrow path but that they will surpass us in their diligence and faithfulness.
What do we want?
We want these boys to become men but more importantly to become leaders. Leaders in their families, leaders in their communities but most importantly leaders in the church. We want these boys to strive towards God's Kingdom here on Earth, to be an integral part of its establishment and lead others to Him.
What can you expect?
Activities. Whether at the weekly meetings that will begin on 7:00 pm on Monday, September 21st at South Crysler Restoration Branch or at weekend overnights, the boys will engage in fun and challenging activities.
Some of the activities we are planning to offer this year include:
Archery Fishing Rock Climbing Pinewood Derby
Advancement in skills. Many badges called "markers" are now ready. These will be earned by the boys who learn and demonstrate the tasks associated with the skill. The markers can then be sewn onto his sash to be worn with his uniform. Markers to be earned include, First Aid, knot tying, outdoor cooking, Scripture study, prayer journals, swimming and survival. You can also expect classes on Church History, the Priesthood offices, Word of Wisdom and much more.
And a weeklong camp for the summer of 2021
What do we need?
Boys - The more the merrier as they say. We need boys who yearn to learn, who wish to advance in the program and love to camp.
Fathers - We need men who want spend these fleeting moments engaging in their son's lives to make a positive impact and form memories that will last a lifetime.
Adult Leaders - Here is your chance to make a difference, to share your life experiences and pass on the skills you spent a lifetime acquiring. Maybe, you might find yourself picking up a new skill or two along the way!
Committee Members - While we do have a freshly minted handbook. Policies and procedures will need review and planning of future activities and coarse material will need shaping. More constructive ideas are always welcome in furthering and molding this program into what these boys need and deserve.
Don't forget, the inaugural meeting, or Kickoff, is at 7:00 pm on Monday, September 21st.
Also, the Fall Fund Raiser we will be taking orders for our very popular (and very delicious) burritos which can be picked up on October 24th at South Crysler Restoration Branch. More details to follow.
