Troop 442 sponsored by Westside Church of Christ

Welcome friends and supporters. Troop 442 is proud to be a "boy run troop." That means that the boys learn responsibility and increase their leadership skills as they move through the ranks of scouting. They practice leadership in their Patrol and Troop activities. We have at least one major outing each month, and attend a week long summer camp each year. The Scouts are regularly involved in service projects that benefit the community.
