Lancaster Troop 39 is one of the older Boy Scout Troops of the Antelope Valley District which is part of the Western Los Angeles County Council. Its charter is more than 32 years old with the First Baptist Church of Lancaster as the current Charter Organization. Presently there are about 50 active Scouts that meet at the Desert Christian School at 44648 15th Street W., in Lancaster, every Tuesday at 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The second Tuesday of every month the parents join us for a parent committee meeting.

The Troop is divided into five patrols of 5 to 12 Scouts. The Senior Scouts are the experienced, older and trained Scouts of the Troop. The other four Patrols all have a Patrol Leader, Asst. Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, Instructor and Patrol Dad to help them out. In the Patrol meetings at the Troop Meetings, every first Tuesday of the month, the Patrol Leaders plan for the current months camp out and the next three Troop meetings. Once a month the Scout Leadership has a meeting to plan for the next month´s activities. The Scout Leadership consists of the Patrol Leaders Council (the Patrol leaders) and the Senior Scouts.

As you can see Troop 39 is a Scout run troop. The Scouts plan and execute their own program. With the help of several Scouters and parent participation the Scouts are well supported.

Troop 39 has a year round outings program. Every month there is an overnight outing planned and two long term outings a year. This rigorous outing program helps to keep all the Scouts active in the Troop, plus provides the Scouts with a opportunity for fun, new skills and advancement.
