Tree Planting

Cub, Scout, and National Guard all lend a hand

Cliffs Natural Resources provided funds for tree planting in an undeveloped area along 7th Street in Ishpeming, and they called on the Troop 321 for help with the labor. Our Scouts answered that call.

Not too long from now, the area will become a small park and picnic spot. In another twenty years or so, our boys will be able to bring their children here and share with them the story of its beginning - with saplings, dirt, buckets of water, and a great Scout spirit.

Kevin Corkin, Hiawathaland's District Executive, lent a hand, and our friends from ABC News 10 were there to cover the activity. In addition, two of our Scouts gained some experience with interviews. Cliffs also donated $500 to the Bay-Lakes Council in appreciation of our efforts. Great work guys!
