GIVING: More West Seattle Scouts spend their holiday in service, to honor those who served

| Holidays | West Seattle news

A Veterans Day postscript – Jason sends this report and photos from Scout Troop 799‘s cleanup project:

In service, and in recognition of those who’ve served, Scouts from West Seattle Troop 799 gloved up and met at 9 am Thursday morning near Denny International Middle School to pick up trash, clean out rain gardens and storm drains, and enjoy the relatively warm temps and drizzle carried by the atmospheric river flowing over our state throughout this weekend. Afterward, some of them ran a mile at SWAC just to enjoy the rain and fresh air it brings even more!

They collected roughly a dozen trash bags of waste, mostly dropped school supplies, candy and snack wrappers. Nothing dangerous was found, which was a welcome sight, although they were prepared.

Happy Veterans Day, and gratitude from Pack/Troop 799 to all those who’ve served.

That is so great, thank you!

This incentivises me to go out and pick up some trash today!

Way to go Boy Scouts! Thanks for picking up other students trash. When I was in school if you were written up at school for doing something inappropriate the school had you wash the hallway walls or other fun cleaning chores. Excellent job boy scouts for working on your badge out in the pouring rain!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
