Hiking Leaders Guide

The Hiking Module teaches boys the basics of hiking while helping them understand obedience and view their relationship with Jesus as a lifelong journey guided by His Word.

 

Practical Purpose: Equip boys with foundational hiking skills and show them how obedience and good guidance help them stay on the right path—both on the trail and in life.

 

Boys Will Learn:

 

  • Basic hiking skills such as trail safety, proper gear, pacing, and awareness of surroundings.

  • The importance of obedience and following directions, just as hikers follow maps, markers, and leaders.

  • That their walk with Jesus is like a long-distance hike that requires guidance, patience, and trust.

Projects:

 

  • Practicing simple hiking techniques on short outdoor trails or supervised practice routes.

  • Learning how tools like maps, compasses, and trail markers help hikers stay on course.

  • Completing Outpost Adventures Achievements that reinforce preparation, responsibility, and safe outdoor habits.

Spiritual Goals:

 

  • Understand that the Bible—along with parents, leaders, and godly influences—guides them like a trail map.

  • Learn that obedience to God keeps them moving in the right direction on their spiritual journey.

  • Recognize that following Jesus is a steady walk, not a sprint, and requires daily dependence on Him.
