Our Troop Purpose


Troop 317’s purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.


Our Troop Verse (and Numeral)

Our Troop Vision

At all times and in every way,
Troop 317 will strive to be a place where...

1. Young men become mature and impactful disciples of Christ,
2 Peter 3: 18 says, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”
2. Young men become outstanding Trailmen who demonstrate the ideals and Biblical principles of the Trailman Oath,
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength,"  Mark 12:30
3. Parents develop a closer relationship with their sons,
Ephesians 6:4 says, “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”
4. Adult volunteers serve in the areas of their giftedness and are affirmed for their support, and
“Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others,"  Romans 12:4-5
5. Perimeter Church benefits from our faithful stewardship of its facilities and collaboration with its ministries.
Luke 12:48b  says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."
