March 26
was a cool but sunny day for Daniel's Eagle Scout Leadership
Service Project at Kings Park Library. Nineteen Scouts and ten
other volunteers showed up to conduct a complete make over of
the library's entry garden.
Below are some photos of
the project underway.

As a result of Daniel's
prior planning truck drivers were able to dispose of rubbish
removed from the garden free of charge and deliver mulch from
one of Fairfax County's recycling centers.
