What is a Servant Leadership Project?
A Servant Leadership Project is a leadership project required for the Freedom Award. It asks an older Trailman to demonstrate the skills and ideals learned in the troop by serving others. Current project expectations come from troop leaders and Trail Life USA’s official Freedom Award requirements.
What is Trail Life USA’s mission?
Trail Life USA’s mission is to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.
How does leadership change as boys get older?
Younger boys learn to participate well, work with others, and take responsibility for themselves. Navigators begin meaningful youth leadership, and Adventurers take on greater planning, decision-making, mentoring, service, and responsibility while adults increasingly coach rather than direct.
What is the Freedom Award?
The Freedom Award is Trail Life USA’s highest award for older Trailmen. It represents substantial growth and accomplishment in the Adventurers program, including leadership, service, faith, and other current program requirements.
