We have worked with the Troop over four meetings to help scouts earn their merit badge for Chess. However, as some scouts have missed meetings and/or were only able to attend portions of the various sessions not all scouts have completed all the requirements.

Message:

ON May 4 from 1-3PM The Alexandria Beautification Commission would like Troop 129 to help out with planting trees.

The planting is part of the City/ABC "tree equity" project in which trees are planted in all neighborhoods, as some have been shortchanged in the past.

This group of trees - 10 in all - would be planted at John Adams Elementary School over off Beauregard Street. Turn onto Rayburn Ave. and then right into the school driveway, and the work is right in front.
