Had a great time camping in Ashton and riding the Ashton to Tetonia Trail.

Trail Life USA is where boys thrive! Boys were designed by their Creator to be doers. They need activity and purpose. It is through experience and adventure that bonds are forged, identities are fostered, and boys become young men. It is through action, and not mere mental assent, that muscles of faith are strengthened.

Around the fire in the evening, after a day of service and adventure, conversations deepen, connections are established, spiritual truths become real, and mentoring takes place naturally as iron sharpens iron.

We had excellent weather for last weekend’s trip to Craters of the Moon! It’s always wonderful exploring our amazing Idaho landscapes with these boys.

This weekend we were finding natural treasures in Crystal Park, Montana, and enjoying fellowship at the campfire. If you’re digging for a place for your boys to belong, join us! We have Monday evening meetings and fun, varied outings for boys ages 5-18.

(If your boys have sisters, check out American Heritage Girls troop ID 4605, meeting at the same time and place!)

"No man can be a good American unless he is a good citizen. No man is a good citizen unless he so acts as to show that he actually uses the Ten Commandments, and translates the Golden Rule into his life conduct."

"Any boy is worth nothing if he has not got , courage to stand up against the forces of evil, and courage to stand up in the right path. Let him be unselfish and gentle, as well as strong and brave."

"The man who counts, and the boy who counts, are the man and boy who steadily endeavor to buildup, to improve, to better living conditions everywhere and all about them. The same qualities that mean success or failure to the nation as a whole, mean success or failure in men and boys individually."
