Worthy Life Program

Walking Worthy, Spiritually Growing

Our Worthy Life Program is focused on growing godly boys and godly families

The Worthy Life Award is an integral part of the overall Trail Life discipleship process in the Woodlands Trail, Navigators, and Adventurers programs. For a Trailman to earn the Timberline Award or the Freedom Award, he must complete the requirements for the Worthy Life Award. At each level, this distinction requires that a boy complete activities in four categories:

Devotional - Engaging with spiritual truth in a regular transformative manner.
Discipleship - Living out faith through service and learning about how others have done so.
Discipline - Practicing intentional activities that result in spiritual growth like regular prayer, fasting, journaling, memorizing Scripture, attending church services, giving, and serving.
Demonstration - Evaluating and sharing Worthy Life experiences with parents, Troop, and/or church.

At the Woodlands Trail level, Worthy Life involves intentional mentoring, hands-on activities, and practical applications that involve parents and Troop mentors to help a boy gain knowledge of fundamental truths.

For older boys in the Navigators and the Adventurers programs, focus moves from creating foundational knowledge to helping internalize his faith, integrate it as his worldview, live with integrity, share with intentionality, and use his spiritual gifts to impact others through service.

Join a Study Group

For those that don't have a focused discipleship plan currently, we will be running study groups. These will be for families of the same patrol level to support each other as they go through one of the recommended books. If you are at the BOOTCAMP event, you will see some books laid out on the table. These are age-appropriate studies that help grow boys' knowledge of God and his Word. Joining is easy. Your advocate will help you get going.
