Northeast Georgia Council • Scouting America
Scouting America helps young people develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness through outdoor adventure, leadership opportunities, and service. Youth learn practical skills, teamwork, and responsibility through hands-on experiences and mentorship by trained adult leaders.
Athens Troop 1 is a historic, all-boys Scouts BSA troop that has served the Athens community for more than 75 years. We are proudly chartered by Athens First United Methodist Church in downtown Athens and are part of the Northeast Georgia Council.
The troop meets on Sunday afternoons and typically participates in one outdoor activity each month—usually camping, hiking, or other adventure-focused outings.
Connected Community: Troop 1 is also affiliated with Cub Scout Pack 1, which meets at the same location and serves younger youth beginning their Scouting journey.
Learn more about our council at the Northeast Georgia Council website.
Troop meetings are held 3:00–4:00 PM on most Sundays.
