Welcome!

Welcome to the official website of Boy Scout Troop 642. We are chartered by The Parents of Troop 642. We belong to the Las Colinas District in the Western Los Angeles Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. We draw from a community of boys mostly from Hidden Hills and Calabasas.

We welcome new families to find out about our Troop. Scouting is a year-round program for boys around ages 11 - 17. Through the Boy Scout program, young men can achieve the core objectives of strengthening character, personal fitness, and good citizenship.

This web site has been created to give our scouts, their families, and visitors to our site an idea of what Scouting is all about and to keep them informed of activities of our troop.
