November saw that “A Scout is kind.” We learned about what our veterans have done for their country, wrote thank you cards to the VFW members, and decided a way we’ll be kind this month! We also had a rousing game of “dirty room”, always a hit!
We finished up by handing out Pack 48’s first awards of the year! Plenty more to earn where those came from!
At the end of October, our Lion Cubs visited Boy Scout Troop 48 to take part in a flag ceremony. They also had fun being first aid victims to help the Boy Scouts practice their skills. Thanks Boy Scouts!
Back in October, Pack 48 went to Cub Fun Day! There, our boys spend the day doing archery and bb guns, going on the inflatable slide, fishing, painting pumpkins, racing pinewood derby cars, and much more!
Afterwards, we have eight families out for the night at our very first campout, graciously hosted by the Berlin VFW!
Thank you everyone who helped make out first BIG events such a great time! Lots more fun to come!
October 5th was our second Pack meeting of the year! We talked about how a “Scout is Brave”, played some great Fall games, gave a scarecrow life for the Berlin Scarecrow contest, and had a great time!
Your den leaders will be in touch with you about ! Hope to see everyone at Cub Fun Day and at our campout on October 21 to 22nd!
Next Pack meeting is Thursday, November 2nd at 7 PM at the Berlin VFW!
Our first campout is coming up in just three weeks!

Our Pack Meeting information for all the meetings for the year are now up on our Calendar page! All of our Pack Meetings will be the first Thursday of the month, with the exception of April due to Spring Break (that month, it will be the 2nd Thursday).
All Den meetings will be held on Thursdays as well, except when the Cubs are going on a trip somewhere for their meeting! The den leaders will set their den schedules on how often they meet with their parents!
Finally, a BIG thank you to the Berlin VFW for agreeing to host all of our Pack and Den meetings this year. Their support is hugely appreciated!
Thursday, September 7, 2017 marks the return of Cub Scouting to Berlin! We’ll be holding our first monthly Pack meeting at the Berlin VFW in Berlin from 7 PM to 8 PM!
If you have a son in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, this is a great time to come join up!
Coming this Fall…. Cub Scouts returns to Berlin with Pack 48!
We are now taking applications for boys in grades Kindergarten through 2nd Grade! If you might be interested in being a den leader for 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grade (it’s fun! We’ll help you! Seriously, it’s fun!), reach out and we’ll make this happen!
