Get Back with the Pack! Pack 631 is Scouting On!

Welcome to Pack 631, Sponsored by Woodward Academy.  We had a great 2022-2023 School Year -- and we're not stopping.  We'll be lining up more great group activities like these and like these for the rest of 2023 and into 2024 so that your family can enjoy the best of Cub Scouting.  We're committed to being an "Every Parent Leads" Pack -- and we're providing every parent with the tools to succeed when they lead.  

So look for camping and hiking and horseback riding and swimming and biking and fishing and trailblazing and more.  See the flyer attached for the events in the Spring and Summer of 2023 and in the planning stage for the full 2023-24 year, and we'll update this site as we add more.  Cub Scout Pack 631 is open to all boys and girls, Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, and their Parents who will collectively lead them!

Girls in Cub Scouting?  Yes, some of our most enthusiastic Scouts are girls!  We are open to girls joining us, with adult female leaders to help support them -- and we hope you are too, because we are stronger together.  And kindergarten kids too.  Stay tuned for details here on the website.  Once you Login, you will have access to all features of our Website.  Forgot how to Login? Email the Webmaster!  Not a member of the Pack, but think you might want to join?  See our About Us and How to Join page on the left menu bar.  See our FAQ pages.  Need even more info, please contact the Cubmaster or Pack Committee Chair.  Like our Facebook page and follow us at twitter.com/Bsa631Scouts.

Who We Are ... What We Can Do ... Are You In? Are You Out?

Posted on Nov 20 2024 - 6:07pm

There are 118 youth names in this Website who expressed interest in Cub Scouting here and haven't expressed a desire to exit -- we hope you will participate as Scouts in Cub Scout Pack 631!  Even if you haven't attended a Den Meeting yet, you can do this.  Cub Scouting is all about Fun, Family and Friends -- Creating Community!  Do fun things with your families and friends, and invite more families and friends to do fun things with you.  (Anyone can invite a new family to join us.)

But if you've decided NOT to do Cub Scouts with Pack 631 and want off these emails, just  send an email to webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us.

And there are many activities other than "advancement".  Check out The Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do Around Atlanta or this list of Fun, Simple, Easy activities - you'll find fun things to do.  

Here's our current "interested" numbers at each Grade Level (Den level) -- Reminder:  you need a Login to some pages, like the Calendar and Roster, and if you've forgotten the login, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us:  

  • Fifth Grade has 16 working towards the Arrow of Light Rank (<== click that link to find out what those are and how you can help lead our Scouts at this level), and hopefully graduate to a Scouts BSA Troop in the Spring (the older level of Scouting in the BSA). 

Sending to those email lists work only if you are sending from an email that is in the Pack Roster, so if you want to send from, say, a work email or alternate to what's in the Pack Roster, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us and we'll add your alternate email in (FYI, that "must be in the website roster" rule is what keeps spammers from sending to the website emails).

If you have decided not to do Cub Scouting in Pack 631 this year, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us.

Scouting America National Fee Payment Emails

Posted on Nov 13 2024 - 11:43am

As announced several times here in the "Two Annual Scouting Payments" announcement and in our "2024-25 Youth Pack Registration and Pack Dues" page, there are now two parts of payment to be in Troop 631 annually.  One is our Local Pack 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 (f/k/a BSA) National Registration Fee paid by (for) each Scout and each Leader directly to the Scouting America (BSA) 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 interim acting Pack Chair Bert Bender.

Missed a Meeting? Want to Complete an Adventure and Earn a Badge?  Our Den Adventure Plan pages can help you.

Each and every Rank (grade) page has  Assembed Den Meeting Plans for all of the Adventures plus tips, videos and other resources about how to deliver those Adventure Plans with more fun in ways easier for parent leaders -- super useful if/when you want to either "catch up" or do Adventures at home (spoiler alert: you can with those family led plans).  See your page and find your fun -- because Every Parent Leads in Pack 631!

Two Annual Scouting Payments

Posted on Oct 30 2024 - 3:50pm

Two Annual Scouting Payments.  There are now two parts of payment to be in Pack 631 annually:

(1) Local Pack Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") paid by (for) each Scout for the school year -- these can be paid now, and

(2) Scouting America (f/k/a BSA) National Registration Fee paid by (for) each Scout and each Leader directly to the Scouting America (BSA) National organization for the next 12 months -- these can only be paid within 60 days of your "Anniversary Date" (more below).  Those of you who registered before 8/1/23 will start to receive emails about this in early November.

This page (or https://atlanta631.mypack.us/node/3821) is where you will pay Local Pack Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") -- the costs that the Pack must cover in order to operate properly, like Patches and Awards and Supplies and Food for the Blue + Gold Awards Banquet and other events and Pack equipment (Trailer, Gear, Supplies) and Packmaster + Website + Photo Site and other expenses and also reimbursement of Adult Leader Registrations.

  • This Local Pack Program Fees or "dues" amount paid on this page to the Pack does not include National Registration Fees payable to the National Scouting America Organization. 

How Do We Pay the National Scouting America Registration Fees?  Short answer: directly to the National Scouting America organization. Longer Answers:

  • If you are not currently Registered with the National Scouting America Organization as a member or leader in Pack 631, or if your registration has lapsed, please see these steps to register.
  • If you are currently Registered with the National Scouting America Organization as a member or leader in Pack 631, families will "renew" their Scout's National Scouting America membership directly and Adult Leaders will likewise renew their National Scouting America membership directly -- you will receive emails with payment instructions directly from Scouting America starting 60 days before your "Anniversary Date" -- and pay directly.  This is new in 2024.   
    • If you are not sure whether you are on our National Scouting America Roster, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us
    • Your "Anniversary Date" is 12 months after you first registered if you registered on or after 8/1/23.
      • It is January 1 if you registered before 8/1/23.
