Boland honored with Trail Life’s Freedom Award

Jackson Boland was recently honored with Trail Life USA’s Freedom Award, according to Caleb Davis, troopmaster for Trail Life USA Troop AL-242, which is chartered by CrossPoint Church in Trussville.

Boland received this highest recognition offered by Trail Life after  nine years in the organization. The award is the culmination of all the effort put forth by living out the Trailman’s Oath to Walk Worthy (Col. 1:10), Davis explained.

The Freedom Award candidate will have demonstrated mastery of a significant skill set including 15 required and 10 elective Trail badges, performed 20 hours of service each year of his involvement and proven himself as a leader among his peers.

Other projects include a focus on faith-building and servant leadership.

Jackson’s parents Jeff and Ginger Boland took interest in Trail Life soon after it was launched in 2013.
