LetBoysBeBoys_CoverOn Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, Trail Life USA CEO Mark Hancock and Dr. James Dobson, spend two days discussing how to grow boys to become biblically bold, courageous men of character and conviction. The fact is, boys and girls are different. We know this for many reasons. We also understand that boys are struggling in almost every area that's measurable. Discussions about toxic masculinity, a lack of fathers in the home, and an education system that favors a sit down, be still, do as you're told, repeat what I say learning style is leaving too many boys behind. 

Bringing Up Boys

More than ever there is a need for a boy-focused program that celebrates the assertive, audacious, adventurous nature of boys. A program that engages men in making men, that builds on the strengths of a boy, that engages boys in a spirit of adventure, and through hands-on experience teaches faith, character, and stewardship. A program that Lets Boys be Boys!

Let Boys Be Boys
