Boy Scout Troop 48, founded in 1965, is an active troop based in Berlin, NJ.
For the last forty-five years, the troop has been structured around our
monthly camping trips: canoeing the Wading River, hiking at Sandy Hook
or on the Appalacian Trail, whitewater rafting in West Virginia, exploring
the battlefields at Gettysburg and Antietam, just to name a few.
Each summer, Troop 48 goes on a week long adventure, most recently (2010) to Acadia National Park in Maine.
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 two of our Scouts attain the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting’s highest honor.
Troop 48 draws its members from Berlin Borough, Berlin Township, Voorhees, Waterford, Atco, and the surrounding area.
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).
