Trail Life USA is the premier Christ-centered outdoor character development and adventure program centering on guiding young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure. Boys in grades Kindergarten - High School Seniors are invited to join the Troop as Woodlands (Grades K-5), Navigators (Grades 6-8) or Adventurers (Grades 9-12).

Chartered in 2014, Troop VA-717 is one of the original four Catholic Trail Life Troops currently serving the Diocese of Arlington and currently has 40+ Trailmen. The Troop incorporates its Catholic faith in all of its activities and meetings, in addition to serving both the parish and surrounding community through its service projects. Meetings are twice a month on a Thursday for one hour.

The Troop also plans a full year of fun outdoor adventures including two annual family camp-outs: October beach camping and a June camp-out in the local area. The K-5 Woodlands participate in local “Hit the Trail” hikes monthly. The older boys experience High Adventure trips that include backcountry backpacking, white water rafting, skiing, paint-ball, rifle shooting/training, zip line, mountain biking and other various activities.
