Wrightwood Trail Cleanup Day

Thursday, February 2, 2012 is a minimum day at school and our Pack will be doing a Cleanup on the Wrightwood Trail beginning at Sheep Creek Road moving west towards Lone Pine Canyon Road shortly after school gets out.  We'll be parking on the frontage road south of HWY 2 for safety. Please either wear your uniform or green Pack t-shirt.  They would like us to (1) Rake the pine needles and pine cones off of the trail, (2) line the trail (off the compacted granite, not on) with either rocks or pine cones, (3) clip/cut any tree branches that may interfere with walking on the trail, and (4) clean up trash.

If you can bring any of the following items, it would be helpful:

Rake
Pruning Sheers
Trash Bags

Doing service projects together is one way that Cub Scouts keep their promise "to help other people." While a Scout should do his best to help other people every day, a group service project is a bigger way to help people. While you're giving service, you're learning to work together with others to do something that's good for your community.
