The local Scouts BSA Troops 24 and 52 were at it again last weekend out at Washington Flats, picking up trash and hauling it away. The scouts and their siblings worked hard, but there is still a lot of trash out there, reports Troop 52 Scoutmaster Kim Stout.

"We ask that everyone please try to be better stewards of our environment because we love being able to go out in it and hike, fish, camp, and explore and learn," she added.
