Our Scout troops, Troop 31B (boys) and Troop 31G (girls), strive to achieve the three aims of Scouting: growth in moral strength and character, participation in citizenship, and development of physical, mental, and emotional fitness. We offer a variety of trips and experiences including camping, backpacking, canoeing, high adventure, mystery trips and other outdoor activities.
Troop 31B and Troop 31G are supported by our strong Scoutmasters, ASMs and troop committee which has over 20 adults who volunteer their time for a variety of tasks. Parents are always welcome to attend any Troop 31 event and are encouraged to be active in our troop.
Troop 31 B and G meetings are held on Tuesday evenings usually from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in the social hall/gymnasium at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. If you are interested in finding out more about Troop 31 B and G, please send a request via the Contact Us page.
