HSC 2025-10-24 Trail Life USA: Let Boys Be Boys, Part 2 - Mark Hancock

In this episode, Rose Gamblin interviews Mark Hancock, founder and CEO of Trail Life USA. When the Boy Scouts of America began to shift away from their traditional values, Hancock felt compelled to continue those meaningful activities with his own sons. From that conviction, Trail Life USA was born—a Christ-centered, boy-focused organization built to nurture character, leadership, and faith. Mark goes on to share his belief that boys are different than girls, and that those differences should be respected and celebrated. He explains that boys thrive with structure, challenge, and clear boundaries, and that they benefit from environments that allow them to compete, take risks, and grow into godly men. Trail Life USA is designed to meet those distinct needs, offering boys a space to stretch, achieve, and be mentored in a way that honors their unique design.
