Who We Are

 

We are Trail Life Troop TX-1835. Our home is Spring, Texas and our Troop was founded on October 2, 2023.

 

We are sponsored by the Spring Baptist Church.

 

Our troop number comes from the Book of Psalms, chapter 18 verse 35.

 

Our troop number is also a reference to the beginning of the Texas Revolution on October 2, 1835 (188 years before our first meeting). The "Come And Take It" flag from that first battle was the inspiration for our "Come And Live It" flag. We replaced the canon that started the Texas Revolution with the "canon" of God's Word and we are continuing the revolution that Jesus Christ started 2000 years ago. Ours is not a revolution of guns, canons, and fighting, but of love, grace, and forgiveness.

 

 

   You have given me your shield of victory.
   Your right hand supports me;
   your help has made me great.

Psalm 18:35

What We Do
 

    More than ever, boys need a uniquely masculine program where their assertive,

    audacious, and adventurous nature is celebrated, not sequestered.

 

What is Trail Life?

Christ-Centered. Boy-Focused.

    Trail Life USA is a 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.

 

Let Boys Be Boys

    Too many boys are turning to virtual worlds of television, video games, digital

    media, and the internet to find realms they can conquer and areas where they

    can excel. The result of this virtual conquest is often apathy, apparent rebellion,

    or outright resistance to real-world challenges.

    Trail Life USA is a Christ-centered environment where boys thrive! Adults are

    equipped to lead a program in a structured outdoor environment where boys

    are engaged in real-world challenge and experience camping, hiking, and

    fishing; they develop skills in riflery, archery, and canoeing; and learn character

    and leadership in a practical hands-on manner that is naturally engaging.

    In the outdoors, the experience of adults is never obsolete; boys find mentors,

    fathers and sons connect, important relationships are fostered, and boys find

    opportunity to achieve significant accomplishment.
