This page keeps track of all the excitement that Pack 48 has coming up!Den Meetings are held on Thursdays as well, nearly always at the Berlin VFW! The number of times each den (made up of kids in the same grade) meet depends on their grade. If you’d like to visit a den meeting, please contact Cubmaster Mike McCormick at michaelmccormick26@gmail.com and he’ll put you in touch with a Den Leader.
