Who Are We?
Kyle and Joshua - December of 2018
The owner of the company, Joshua White, is the Troop Ministry Liaison for a Trail Life USA Troop in the Fort Worth, Texas area. Joshua and his son, Kyle, have been members of their Troop for the past thirteen years, obviously beginning with the previous organization.
Joshua has served in various leadership roles over that time, including Assistant Cubmaster, Advancement Coordinator, Outdoor Coordinator, Committee Secretary, Treasurer, and Navigator Trail Guide. He has been in his current position as the TML for the past eight years.
Kyle started as a Tiger Cub with the goal of becoming an Eagle Scout. He earned all ranks, and a variety of belt loops and pins as a Cub Scout. He really enjoyed earning the Arrow of Light and Webelos Super Achiever Award shortly before switching over to Trail Life USA.
Several representatives from the same Troop as Joshua attended to the National Conference in Tennessee, where the formation of Trail Life USA was announced, then switched over.
Joshua and Kyle were interviewed and quoted in a popular Associated Press article regarding Trail Life USA shortly after, which was published in dozens of newspapers all over the United States. Unfortunately, some things were taken out of context in the publishing of some of the articles, leading to difficult times.
Kyle as a Wolf a decade ago
Kyle served in various leadership positions, such as First Officer, Second Officer, Chaplain’s Aide, Scribe, Junior Patrol Leader, and Patrol Leader. He bridged over to the Adventurer Patrol in May of 2017 after earning all of the Navigator Ranks and earned his Horizon Award in December of 2018!
In 2020, he became the first Trailman in his Troop to earn the Freedom Award!
Why do we Produce Trail Life USA Coins?
We have been designing, producing, and collecting custom coins and pins for several years, first as a hobby, then through another business that we own, and now for this endeavor.
Recently, due to his family's love for and involvement in Trail life USA, his passion for producing and collecting coins, and a desire to produce coins which could be used to inspire Trailmen in many ways, Joshua worked through the process of becoming a Preferred Vendor with Trail Life USA.
This allows us to use various Trail Life logos on the products that we make and sell, including custom coins and pins. We started with a set of coins focusing on The Trailman Oath, followed by a coin for each Program Level (Woodlands, Navigators, Adventurers). Next we produced coins for a few major events. We are currently working to add additional coins for Trailmen, leaders, and their families to collect and display!
Our hope and prayer is that the young men receiving these coins will be encouraged to walk closely with the Lord, and someday, years from now, when they discover their coins in a box or the back of a drawer, it will inspire them to do big things for Jesus! We want these coins to remind Trailmen of all ages and through the years to “Walk Worthy!”
Why Choose Us?
First, As mentioned above, we have several years of experience with producing custom coins and pins for various people and organizations.
Next, we are already approved to use various logos to create custom coins and pins for you individually or for your Troop!! This saves you time and effort in dealing with getting approval.
Also, we can take your ideas, create the necessary art, work through any approvals needed with the Home Office, and create the coin for you hassle-free, all in one place!
Finally, we send 10% of the proceeds from everything we sell to the Home Office, so by purchasing coins through us, you are helping to support a Trail Life USA (and AHG) family, a local Troop, and the Trail Life USA Home Office!
