Summer bike ride turned service project

Posted

A recent summer bike ride along the Cranston bike path turned into a great service project opportunity for the Cub Scouts in Pack 6. Upon their arrival at the bike path earlier this summer, the boys found it to be noticeably littered with trash and decided to do something about it. On Sept. 8, just a couple of weeks into the school year, the boys met up at that same bike path, got their gloves on and got to work picking up litter and trash. “This is part of their Bear requirements, taking care of their planet,” pack leader Kimberly Goldthwait said. Her younger son, Jack, is in the pack, and her older son Noah, a Boy Scout, was on hand along with several other parent volunteers, helping the boys properly dispose of the garbage they were finding. “We cleaned up from the parking lot to the tunnel,” Goldthwait later reported. “Four full bags and one box full of trash and recycling.” (Text and photos by Jen Cowart)
