Achievement Program

The heart of the Stockade is its Achievement program. During the four years boys are in Stockade they will work their way through a newly revised achievement program.

STOCKADE has two divisions, Builders for boys 8 and 9 years old, and Sentinels for boys 10 and 11 years old. The heart of the Stockade program is Achievements. Each boy has a manual called BUILDER TRAILS, or SENTINEL TRAILS, in which they complete activities in five different areas, to help them grow physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.

Those activities are:

	Adventures in Action
	Trails Signs (memory verses)
	Exploring God's Word,
	How Things Work, and
	Others and Me

When they complete the requirements for each level they receive badges, to be sown on their shirt, called Blockhouses or Stations, depending on whether they are Builders or Sentinels. There are 8 Blockhouses and 8 Stations. This is what they look like.

When a boy completes either 4 Blockhouses or Stations he receives the Builder or Sentinel Pin. When he completes 8 Blockhouses or Stations, he receives the Builder or Sentinel Star. We have Bonus Awards, as well for boys involved in special activities.
