Why Trail Life USA at First Baptist Church - Georgetown?

Trail Life USA is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered, Male-Focused mentoring and discipleship journey for young men.

Annual Costs & Troop Shoot

National Membership fee: approximately $30/year – parents pay directly to Trail Life USA (TLUSA) when they enroll. This is all we ask parents to pay each year as long as they participate in our one major fundraiser each fall.
 
  •  We estimate, based on past experience, that for all campouts, troop activities, and supplies/uniforms, etc. it will cost about $550 per boy annually. We expect to have only one major fundraiser annually to cover all these costs for parents, thus your active participation is essential each year.
  • Troop Shoot: Our major annual fundraiser is the fall Troop Shoot (Clays for a Cause) at Backwoods Quail Club each year. Parents can register to participate as an individual, couple, or team of four, and/or seek business/families who would like to sponsor a shooting station on the day of this event (we promote their business/family support for this Trail Life event with signage, and social media, etc.)
