Scouts help keep Crains Run Nature Park clean and beautiful

Cub Scout Pack 248 spent Earth Day, April 22, cleaning up Crains Run Nature Park. Members of Pack 139 and 402 pitched in to help.

The scouts picked up trash and sticks. Their efforts make mowing a lot easier for our Parks Department. Scouts left with some frisbees and stickers for their efforts, but also pride in their work to keep our parks beautiful. Thank you!
