Trail Life boys Troop Or4629 - Prineville Or

Last Thursday, the young men and woman, their leaders and families of our AHG and Trail Life troops, joined by a few from Band of Brothers members spent time doing what Memorial Day is truly meant for; remembering those who gave their lives in service to this country.

Memorial Day is not about barbecues, sales, or a long weekend.
It is about honoring the fallen. The men and women who laid down their lives so others could live free.

Last Thursday we walked row by row through the cemetery looking for any sign of military service; a marker, an emblem, a faded flag, a branch of service etched into stone. When we found one, we stopped. We cleaned their headstones, cleared away dirt and time, and placed fresh flags beside their graves.

Some of these soldiers are still visited often.

Some seem long forgotten by the world.

But last Thursday, they were remembered.

Scripture says:
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
—John 15:13

As Christians, remembrance matters. Throughout the Bible, God’s people built memorials so future generations would not forget the sacrifices, faithfulness, and stories that came before them.

Last Thursday these kids learned that honor is not just something you say, it is something you do.

They learned to slow down.

To notice names.

To respect sacrifice.

To serve quietly.

And maybe most importantly, they learned that freedom has always come at a cost.

I could not be more proud of these young people and leaders who chose to spend their day serving, remembering, and honoring those whose memory is all we have left.
May we never forget them.

After our service. We said Happy Birthday to our Trail Life boys Troop Or4629 - Prineville Or Troop Master Troy Koski with Mustaches and Cupcakes!

Will Fisher — Mountain Lions Troop Leader (Grades 3-5)

Will Fisher is the leader of the Mountain Lions and someone who genuinely loves what he does. He has a deep appreciation for the outdoors — hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing — and finds real joy in sharing those experiences with others.
Will volunteers with Trail Life because he believes in its mission. Helping young men grow in character and faith matters to him, and it’s something he’s willing to show up for week after week. His own faith guides how he leads, and it shows in the way he engages with the boys in his troop.
When he’s not with the Mountain Lions, you can probably find him outside somewhere — which is exactly where he likes to be.

Hello, I am Troy Koski, the Troop Master for Trail Life USA Troop OR4629. I have long felt God's calling to mentor boys and young men to learn more about Jesus Christ and learn what it is to be a man that lives for God. I have previously led a Royal Rangers outpost and currently serve in the military. It is always amazing to see how our young men can come from every part of society and appear to be so different, but at the end of the day we all are the same...lost without Christ. I will continue to do the Lords work. John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent."

Sons of Liberty, Sons of Legacy: Reverence
Our first president had the stature and presence of a king. He was tall, strong, commanding. Soldiers stiffened when he passed. Statesmen lowered their voices. Foreign kings watched from across the ocean.

Yet the man who could have claimed a crown chose instead to bow his head.

Washington knew that honor from men was fragile. He recognized that all he had—all he was—was from and for his Heavenly Father.Reverence was the quiet strength beneath his public greatness. It shaped how he saw himself, how he used authority, and how he led a half-frozen army through the dark winter of war.

Reverence is not weakness. It’s the strength of a man who knows who God is—and who he is in relation to Him. That holy fear did not make Washington timid; it made him steady. He viewed his gifts and authority as something granted to Him by a higher power, for the sake of those in his care. That’s why he could walk away from power when the time came—because he understood it was never truly his to begin with.

Those are the kind of leaders we need today.

Explore George Washington's reverence, leadership, and humility, and learn how these qualities shaped his legacy and can inspire a new generation of leaders.

In a world where institutions shift with cultural and political pressure, boys are asking: Is anything solid anymore?

For over a century, the Boy Scouts of America stood for character built on enduring truths. In recent years, standards have shifted under financial, legal, and now political pressure from the Department of War under Pete Hegesth. The question isn’t just about policy — it’s about formation.

When standards move, young people notice.

You cannot build character in young people if you teach them that core convictions ebb and flow based on external pressure.

Uncompromising men of conviction aren’t forged by flexibility.
Steel requires strength — and consistency.

If we want men who stand firm under pressure, we must model what standing firm looks like.

**We were blessed with what we needed, Thank you Jesus***

Our troop is growing faster than ever, and while that is something to celebrate, it also means we have an immediate need to responsibly store and protect the equipment that serves our children week after week.
We were blessed to receive a 10x12 brand new metal shed, but in order to make it usable and protect what’s inside, we still need to build a solid, weather-sealed foundation and floor. Some materials have already been acquired, but we can’t complete this project without help from our community.

We are currently in need of:
• 2 – 12-foot 2x4s
• 12 – 10-foot 2x4s
• 4 full sheets of OSB
• Weather seal for floor protection

Pressure-treated lumber is preferred, though regular lumber would still be a huge help and blessing.

When you donate toward this project, you are investing directly in the children of our community. Secure storage allows us to steward resources well, support continued growth, and keep our focus on building character, leadership, and strong foundations for our youth.

If you’re able to help or know someone who can, please comment below or message us directly. Thank you for continuing to support and believe in our kids. ❤️

As a troop, we are always happy to give back through clean-up projects and community service for those who support us, it’s one small way we can say thank you while teaching our kids the value of service.
