Daniel M's Eagle Scout Leadership Project

PHOTOS FROM MARCH 26 WORK DAY

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.

Scouts receive instructions on what is to be accomplished.
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.
