Scout projects boost park
Boy Scout Elijah Vickers recently completed a sign frame for the boat launch at Haller Park in Arlington as an Eagle Scout Project. The sign was fabricated from lumber from an Arlington fir tree. Vickers supervised his fellow Scouts in the construction and installation of the sign. Information about the environment in the Stillaguamish River Valley will be posted on the sign.
Girl Scouts Matilda Haskins and Abbey Fairbanks recently completed a project for their Silver Award. The Scouts had contacted the city with an idea of installing a Little Free Library. Haller Park was chosen as a location, and the library was installed in the covered picnic shelter. The cabinet is now stocked by the two Scouts with reading material for all ages.
