VERNON, CT — Girl Scouts in Vernon are spearheading efforts to clean up litter in town this weekend.
The scouts are scheduled to gather at 9 a.m. at Strong Farm at 274 West Street and are inviting members of the community to join them. Some gloves, water and trash bags will be available for those who don't have any.
"Come by yourself, with a friend or with a group. Everyone's help is appreciated. Let's clean up Vernon," Scout leaders said.

The plan is to meet back at the farm at noon to collect bags of trash and take a group photo.
