Pungo River
Cross Trail Outfitters Pungo River Chapter is dedicated to guiding the next generation to Christ through the outdoors. Led by Jerry Vann, the Pungo River Chapter provides boys with year-round opportunities for hunting and fishing adventures, hands-on outdoor skills training, and Christ-centered mentorship. Through these experiences, young men grow in character, leadership, and faith, all while forming lifelong friendships and learning the value of stewardship and brotherhood. The Pungo River Chapter is committed to preserving our outdoor heritage and equipping boys to become strong, Christ-centered leaders for their families and communities.

I grew up in the outdoors hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, horseback riding, and pretty much anything outside that didn’t involve a ball. I have a passion for old shotguns. I joined CTO in 2017 when the Pungo River chapter got started, and I was commissioned in 2023. I love sharing the love of Jesus every chance I get. I married the love of my life, Karen, in 1988. We have two kids, Austin and Allison, and four wonderful grandkids: two girls and two boys.
