Purpose
Purpose
We are a ministry of Zion Community Church in Bellefonte, PA. Established in November 2023, our Trail Life troop is a Christ-centered boy-focused outdoor adventure, leadership, and character development progroam for boys ages 5 - 17.
The Motto: Walk Worthy
Colossians 1:10—“…that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;…”
The Slogan: Adventure > Character > Leadership
The Oath
On my honor,
I will do my best
To serve God and my country;
To respect authority;
To be a good steward of creation;
And to treat others as I want to be treated.
Mission Statement
Our Mission is to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.
Vision Statement
Our Vision is to be the premier national character development organization for young men, which produces godly and responsible husbands, fathers, and citizens.
Statement of Faith
We believe there is One Triune God—God the Father; Jesus Christ, His one and only Son; and the Holy Spirit, Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshiping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who enables us to live godly lives. We believe each of us is called to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe God calls us to lives of purity, service, stewardship, and integrity.
Statement of Values
Purity: God calls us to lives of holiness, being pure of heart, mind, word, and deed. We are to reserve sexual activity for the sanctity of marriage, a lifelong commitment before God between a man and a woman.
Service: God calls us to become responsible members of our community and the world through selfless acts that contribute to the welfare of others.
Stewardship: God calls us to use our God-given time, talents, and money wisely.
Integrity: God calls us to live moral lives that demonstrate an inward motivation to do what is biblically right regardless of the cost.
