Trail Life NY 1613

09/10/2026

Trail Life Troop NY-1613 would like to personally invite you and the members of your department to join us for our 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb on Saturday, September 12 at 8:45 AM at Mexico High School.

We will begin the morning with a brief remembrance ceremony honoring those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, especially the first responders who answered the call that morning.

Following the ceremony, we will begin our stair climb at approximately the same time first responders began their climb inside the World Trade Center.

Our challenge is to complete 23 laps of the stadium stairs before the time corresponding with the collapse of the North Tower.

This is not intended to be a race. It is an opportunity for our Trailmen and community to experience a small glimpse of the physical challenge those first responders faced and, more importantly, to make sure the next generation understands their courage, service, and sacrifice.

We would be honored to have members of our local Fire, Law Enforcement, EMS, and Emergency Services communities climb alongside our Trailmen. Participants are welcome to climb in duty/workout gear or simply come as they are. Even those who don’t wish to complete the entire challenge are encouraged to join us for the ceremony and climb as much as they would like.

Please feel free to share this invitation with the members of your department and other local first responders.

We climb because we remember. We remember because their sacrifice deserves to be passed on to the next generation.

We hope you’ll join us.

🎥 Every Great Man Was Once a Boy Looking for Someone to Follow.

Not every boy needs another screen.

Every boy needs a trail.
A challenge.
A purpose.
A man willing to walk beside him.

Across generations, fathers, grandfathers, pastors, coaches, and mentors have passed down more than outdoor skills—they passed down courage, character, faith, responsibility, and a love for God.

Today's boys are facing a different world. Too many are growing up without someone to teach them how to lead, serve, work hard, and stand firm.

That's where YOU can make a difference.

Trail Life USA isn't just about camping and hiking. It's about building godly men by investing in boys one adventure at a time.

You don't have to be an expert outdoorsman.
You don't have to know every knot or survival skill.

You simply need a willing heart.

If God has blessed you with life experience, wisdom, or a desire to serve, the next generation needs you.

🍂 Lead a hike.
🏕️ Teach a skill.
🔥 Share your testimony around a campfire.
📖 Open God's Word.
🤝 Walk beside a boy who needs a godly example.

One faithful man can change the direction of a boy's life forever.

Join us as we raise the next generation of courageous, Christ-centered young men.

The adventure is waiting.
The boys are waiting.
Will you answer the call?

What an incredible Memorial Day Weekend at the Phoenix VFW Field Days! 🇺🇸

We want to send a huge THANK YOU to the entire community and to the Phoenix VFW for supporting our PALOPS Fried Bread Dough Stand this weekend. Your support means more than you know and directly helps support our outdoor adventure center and youth programs.

This year absolutely blew us away. We went through over 315 pounds of dough — and despite our best efforts, we still sadly had to turn some people away after selling out. For that, we sincerely apologize. We honestly never expected the response to be this big!

The good news? Lesson learned. Next year we’ll be coming back bigger, better, and with MORE DOUGH. 🍞🔥

Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and support throughout the weekend. It was amazing seeing so many familiar faces, families, and supporters stopping by the stand.

We are truly grateful to be part of such a strong and supportive community. ❤️
