Boy Scout Troop 42 is chartered by Trinity Baptist Church in Christiansburg, Virginia. Boy Scouts is for boys age11 through 18 interested in the outdoors, character development, and a strong moral foundation for becoming young men. Troop 42 meets on Monday evenings at 7pm.
Every Boy Scout is member of a Boy Scout Troop. Troops are divided into Patrols. Each patrol has around 6 to 12 boys, and is led by one of the boys: the Patrol Leader, and his assistant. The Troop is led by the Senior Patrol Leader, his assistant, and a staff of other boys such as the Quartermaster, Historian, Webmaster, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Chaplain and others.
The Scoutmaster is the adult in charge of the program, aided by Assistant Soutmasters, the Troop Committee and various staff positions such as Unit Advancement, Training, Fundraising and Treasurer.
