Founded in 1913, Troop 4 is one of the oldest Scout troops in the western U.S. and one of the largest in the Greater Los Angeles Area Council. Because of our history and large volunteer staff, we offer a variety of exciting events, projects, and adventures for the complete Scouting experience. Troop 4 Scouts have fun and that’s the key to our success in building character, leadership, and a commitment to community service.

Thanks to all the Scouts and Scouters that served the community this past weekend.
The weekend started Friday evening with T4 Scouts delivering our collected bags of food to the Altadena Food Bank. The Troop had worked with Westminster church for many weeks collecting the food (thanks to all the generous T4 contributors!) for delivery prior to Thanksgiving. Friday evening T4 loaded bags of food into parent’s cars, and then delivered it to the Food Bank. The hardworking Scouts are pictured below.On Saturday Jose Amezcua had his Eagle project at Westminster. He and his crew repaired the badly damaged sidewalk (a real safety hazard) on the Lake Ave. side of the church. Jose had spent several months planing the project. T4 Scouts and Scouters again turned out to serve the community, and the results were spectacular. Great job Jose and crew!

Please click the Annual Registration tab above to access forms and instructions to re-register Scouts and adult leaders. All adult leaders need to complete YPT training at a minimum. Adult leaders without YPT certification completed in 2018 must have a valid YPT certificate by Nov 5th .
Unregistered parents should also complete YPT if your certificate was not obtained in 2018. While not mandatory, we strongly encourage at least one parent in each household to complete YPT. Any parent who has contact with Scouts other than his/her own child is required to have a current YPT certificate from BSA. This means driving Scouts to events, serving on Boards of Review, participating in activities, all need YPT trained adults.
Thank you adults for helping our Scouts to succeed by staying involved in Troop 4 life!
In our Fall 2018 Court of Honor , we celebrated advancement to Scout Rank for 6 , Second Class for 3, Star for 1, and Life for 2 of our Troop 4 boys and young men! We also distributed dozens of merit badges. Together, these awards recognize hundreds of hours of fun, learning, experiences, and life-skill building. Well done Troop 4!
Some of our new Scouts and parents. Congratulations on the first Rank Achievement!
Reaching Second Class rank – way to go!
Life Scouts – These young men are now on their way to Eagle. Look at all those merit badges!
Just some of our Cherry Valley patch and merit badge earners!
