Horizon Rangeman
Horizon Rangeman
A Horizon Trailman still looks back to the younger boys and helps them with their skills, but he also looks ahead to the Freedom Award and seeks to help the Troop succeed and to help Freedom candidates with their Freedom projects. He should be not only useful to the Troop, he should also be learning valuable lessons about life that will pay off time and again when he is a man.
The Horizon Trailman has earned all of the required 15 Trail Badges that encompass the body of specific knowledge required in the Trail Life USA program. He will come across many new ideas and opportunities on his way to manhood. Some of them lead to great things, others to disaster. He will show his wisdom as he avoids the pitfalls and keeps his heart and mind headed upward, developing the image of God within him, and becoming the man God desires he should be. The word “Excelsior” is Latin for “ever onward”, and that is where he will find those new horizons.
