Boy Scout Troop 48, founded in 1965, is an active troop based in Berlin, NJ.
For the last forty-eight years, the troop has been structured around our monthly camping trips: canoeing the Wading River, hiking the Delaware Water Gap, whitewater rafting in the Poconos, or exploring the battlefields at Gettysburg and Antietam, just to name a few.
Each summer, Troop 48 goes on a week long adventure, most recently (2012) a split trip the Catskill Mountains of New York and a 13 day adventure to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. This summer, we adventure to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia!
In addition to camping and high adventure trips, Troop 48 strives have our young men develop leadership abilities, teamwork, outdoor skills, and good citizenship, all in accordance with the principles of Scouting.
Of course, we like to accomplish all of these things while encouraging our scouts to have fun.
We are proud to have had one-hundred and ten of our Scouts attain the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting’s highest honor.
Troop 48 draws its members from Berlin Borough, Berlin Township, Voorhees, Atco, Pine Hill, and the surrounding area, with some Scouts traveling as far as from Mullica Hill, NJ and Newark, DE.
We meet each Wednesday night from 7 pm until 8:30 pm at the shed behind Holy Communion Lutheran Church (442 South Route 73 in Berlin, NJ, directly across from the Wawa gas station). Have a question? Interested in joining? E-mail Scoutmaster Mike McCormick or call 856-287-2155
