Welcome!

Welcome to the Woodward Academy Troop 631 United website!  We welcome young men and women Grade 6 to age 18 to join our Team delivering the Scouting America program. (We also invite Fifth Graders after March 1 of Fifth Grade Year -- before that date, Fifth Grade boys and girls should join our affiliated Cub Scout Pack 631.)

For contact information, please see About Us and How to Join on the menu bar on the left side of the page. 

Interested in Joining?  You can contact the Scoutmaster or Troop Committee Chair.

In a Scouting America Troop, recognition is gained through leadership in the troop, attending and participating in youth-led activities, living the ideals of Scouting, and proficiency in activities related to outdoor life, useful skills, and career exploration.  

The methods of Scouting are Living the Ideals (like the Scout Oath and Law), Working and Leading in Patrols, Outdoor Programs, Advancement, Association with Adults, Personal Growth, Leadership Development and the Uniform, and each is important.  For how we apply those methods in Troop 631, you can see our Troop Operating Manual for How We Scout in Troop 631.

Once you Login, you can access calendar information among other benefits.

Troop Operating Manual ... or How Troop 631 Does Scouting

Posted on Jan 28 2026 - 6:08pm

How Troop 631 does Scouting (at least as seen by the Troop Chair who does not see everything and needs comments from those who see more ... so if-you-see-something-say-something) is documented so far in the Troop 631 Operating Manual and the links and resources from those pages. 

  • This includes how functions have been handled and how they might be handled better into the future with greater involvement by more parents.
  • More resources can be added and corrected for future use by those who will lead Troop 631.
  • If you have updates or improvements to those pages or other resources here, please email the Webmaster at webmaster@atlanta631.mytroop.us or the Chair at chair@atlanta631.mytroop.us.

Scouting America National Fee Payment Emails

Posted on Jan 28 2026 - 6:08pm

As announced in our "2025-26 Youth Troop Registration and Troop Dues" page, there are two parts of payment to be in Troop 631 annually.  One is our Local Troop Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") paid by (for) each Scout for the school year -- this can be paid now on this page, and the second is Scouting America National Registration Fee paid by (for) each Scout and each Leader directly to the Scouting America National organization for the next 12 months -- these can only be paid within 60 days of your "Anniversary Date" (more below).

Many of you are now receiving emails from Boy Scouts of America <noreply@scouting.org> entitled "Your BSA Membership is up for renewal". Please follow the instructions in that email to pay that second amount directly to the Scouting America National Organization.  If you have questions after review of that email and the "Two Annual Scouting Payments" announcement, contact your Troop Chair Bert Bender.
