Callout and Council-wide Day of Service at Roeding
Park April 21
We
had an awesome day with about 180 scouts, friends,
and family with other helpers at Roeding Park! We
cleaned the Tennis Courts and painted benches and
tables, raked 15 loads of truck debris, picked up
40 garbage bags of litter, trimmed branches from fencing,
and more!
With 90+ degree heat, the hot dogs and water were
welcome. It all followed with a great callout ceremony!
Thank you all that participated!
