Adopt-a-Highway

Image DetailTroop 10 has "adopted" Afton Avenue from the Yardley Methodist Church down to River Road.

This is a great service to the community as this section of road tends to collect a lot of trash. It also helps keep the troop visible in the community.

We do cleanups four times a year. Check the troop calendar for dates.
