Scouts Ready St. Helena's for Spring

Members of Boy Scout Troop 69 complete a service project at St. Helena's Episcopal Church.

Members of Boy Scout Troop 69 and Pack 69 participated in a service project on the grounds of St. Helena’s Episcopal Church April 16, trimming branches and cleaning up the spacious grounds in anticipation of spring.

Scouting encourages volunteerism and Troop 69 has completed several service projects at St. Helena’s, said Scoutmaster Ken Zolnierczyk.

The Scout Oath says to "help other people at all times" and the final ranks in Boy Scouts — Star, Life and Eagle — require scouts to complete community service hours, said Zolnierczyk.
