Lion Hearts Commanders (Trail Life Troop #7777)

Lion Hearts was inspired by a grandmother in Gilpin Court who reached out to STEP with a vision to teach character skills and provide biblical guidance to young men. Beginning with a few boys in early 2022, we have now taken steps to become a charter member of Trail Life USA, a biblically based national program. We need men to serve these boys as they continue to grow in number and stature! We encourage fathers and sons (2nd to 8th grade) to participate together. If you are interested in serving as a Lion Hearts commander, please apply here.
