The Skills

The things every boy should know before he’s a man, whether or not someone at home is there to teach him.

A firm handshake, eye contact, please and thank you, and how to treat people right.

What to do when someone gets hurt, and how to stay calm and help.

Checking the oil, airing up a tire, and how a flat gets changed.

Setting the example, speaking up, and looking out for the people around him.

Keeping his word, owning his mistakes, and finishing what he starts.

Doing hard things, handling discomfort, and not quitting when it gets tough.

The program is still being built, so topics may change.

The Program

Short, clear lessons with straight-talk, dad-style advice that boys can understand and actually use.

Boys earn patches and move up as they prove what they’ve learned. Real skills, real recognition.

Built for dads and sons to work through side by side. Grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and moms are welcome too.
