Working with Regional Parks’ Volunteer Coordinator John Ryan, the Troop will perform trail improvements and marking, fence repair, brush clearing and litter removal. In addition, the Scouts will work with Sonoma County Regional Parks on service hours required for school, and to design and implement Eagle Scout projects.
