MILTON, Ga. — A senior at Cambridge High School was the first in Milton to earn Trail Life USA’s highest advancement award, the Freedom Award.
In an October ceremony, Fisher Bryant was recognized for the accomplishment in Trail Life USA, a Christ-centered, K-12, boy-focused character development and outdoor adventure organization founded in 2013. The program serves more than 50,000 members in over 1,000 local troops in all 50 states.
Each Freedom Award candidate must serve the community with a minimum of 20 hours each school year, earn 25 Trail Badges, complete four Freedom Experiences, successfully plan and lead a Servant Leadership Project benefiting the community or a faith-based organization, complete the spiritual development “Worthy Life” award and sit for a Board of Review to become a Freedom Rangeman.
A member of Stonecreek Church in Milton and Troop GA-0317, chartered to and owned by Perimeter Church in Johns Creek, Fisher is one of a small percentage of boys in the nation who earn the Freedom Award.
For his Servant Leadership Project, Bryant chose to build a large wooden team-building “Challenge Wall” for Camp Arrowhead at Stonecreek Church.
“As a camp counselor at Camp Arrowhead, I chose this project because I wanted to give back to the community and to Stonecreek Church for helping me become the person I am today,” Bryant said. “Trail Life USA has helped me prepare for the future and has added lifetime achievements to my resume.”
