(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.)

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.

a Rafting Day in August,
a September Campout at Red Top Mountain, another September Rock Climbing Campout,

As we welcome potential new Scouts to the Troop, a reminder: please sign up for Troop 631 events. If you've decided NOT to do Scouts with Troop 631 and want off these emails, just  send an email to webmaster@atlanta631.mytroop.us and we'll take you off.  But read on for more ...

Selected events upcoming include (click links for more information - need a login reminder? email webmaster@atlanta631.mytroop.us) -- we need your RSVP -- Yes, No, or "Maybe" - to confirm whether it is worthwhile to complete the event plan – stated another way, Troop Leaders need to see if enough Scouts want to go and that’s why we have Event Registration (to see if anyone wants to go) and that's why YOU need to Register either Yes, No, or "Maybe".  More in the Troop Program Elements section of the Troop Operating Manual.

  • Now - 2026-27 Youth Local Registration (Register to Show You're "In" -- Troop Dues amount is now set, so if you registered before that was set, you can circle back and pay now).

Scouting America National Fee Payment Emails

Posted on Sep 2 2026 - 5:27pm

As announced in places like our "2026-27 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 after your registration or renewal date -- if you were registered from last year, these can only be paid within 60 days of your "Anniversary Date" (more below)

Many of you will be receiving emails from Scouting America <noreply@scouting.org> entitled "Your Scouting America 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.

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

Posted on Jul 8 2026 - 5:59pm

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.
