Cub Scout Pack 48 – Berlin, NJ

Night in the Museum sleepover this weekend at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia!

We celebrated mid-February with our Blue & Gold celebrating the birthday of Cub Scouting! Party games, a cake contest, and plenty of cake for everyone!

Had a blast (an artic blast… brrrrr) at our annual Pinewood Derby!

While it was cold outside, the racing was red hot inside. We saw the fastest ever times on the track, and our top three finished within .06 of each other!

Thank you to Ken, Matt, and Jeremy for all the help! Thank you to the Scouts of Troop 48 for all their hard work (starting at 6:30 am!). Congrats to all our Cubs on their races!

Astronomy night! Got to see a good amount of stars and look at the moon close up!

BERLIN, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

When we stopped sorting for the day today, we had 5,201 items for the GIFT food pantry. 5,201!!!!

We’ll have someone going around in a few hours for a last sweep for the day for folks whose houses were missed or whose bags went out late. We are super close to our record for our biggest Scouting for Food food drive we’ve ever done, fingers crossed we’ll have a new record!

HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who donated! HUGE THANK YOU to our Scouts from age 5 to 17 and their families who worked so hard last week and this week!

Final count from a few days later – 5,500 items!

Troop 48 – Berlin, NJ and Pack 48 are going door to door in Berlin Borough passing out bags for Scouting for Food today! We will pick up next Saturday, November 22, starting at 8 am!

Please leave your bag with nonperishable items by your front door!

No bag? Bag blew away in this wind? Leave a bag or box labeled “Scouts” or “Food Drive” by your front door.

Thank you everyone!

November Pack Meeting! Made thank you cards for the veterans at the Berlin VFW, had a Lego hunt, had a cup stacking game, and played the “messy room” game.
