Troop 626, a Boy Scout Troop about 50 boys strong and has been serving the youth of Northwest Harris
County since 1969. The Troop has been chartered by Windwood Presbyterian Church for the entire 40 years
and is proud to maintain this relationship as the church has moved to it's new home on Spring-Cypress Rd.
Troop 626 is committed to providing opportunities for the individual growth of young men,
by supporting a boy-led troop that strives to get all new scouts to the rank of First Class within a
year, to provide high-adventure, leadership roles, and an excellent merit badge program for our older
scouts while they develop into fine young men on their road to Eagle Scout and beyond.
The Troop is a member of the Phoenix District of the Sam Houston Area Council of the Boy Scouts of
America. Over the span of 40 years the Troop has produced 105 Eagle scouts, the highest achievement in
Scouting.
The Troop is run and managed by an all-volunteer group of parents that want the best for our youth.
The Troop offers monthly campouts and Summer and Winter Camp opportunities. The Troop participates in
one or two high adventure camps per year for the older boys (Philmont in New Mexico, Northern Tier High
adventure Base in Canada, Florida Sea Base, Packard High Adventure Base in Colorado, etc.).
The Troop meets Monday nights from 7:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. at the Windwood Presbyterian Church Youth
Center.
For more information or if anyone is interested in visiting or joining the Troop or volunteering,
please come to our 7:00 pm Monday meetings or contact our Scoutmaster, Richard Avelar at
scoutmaster@troop626.com or our Committee Chairperson,
Gerard Dillemuth at committee@troop626.com.
