Columbus Boy Scouts joined the Greatest American Clean Up by helping to Keep Columbus Beautiful. Scoutmaster Scott Matus lead the team of scouts who worked to remove litter from Veterans Drive and Hwy. 90. Some parents also helped remove litter.
This year as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, individuals and groups are working across our country to remove litter. In Texas, Keep Texas Beautiful encourages Texans to participate in the Greatest American Cleanup from March 1 to May 31 in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.
The Greatest American Cleanup is a national program focused on encouraging communities to clean and beautify their cities and towns. Projects include beautification events, recycling events, litter cleanups, and more.
Columbus citizens who want to help their community can be a part of the Great American Cleanup by completing a project in May. Any project in a public area in our community that needs attention qualifies. Call or text 979-733-4343 for more information or to help.
Scouts working on the cleanup included from left, front row, Peter Beisher, Caden Koy, Henry Jones, George Bergfeld III, Shane Sarao, Lucas Brubaker. Back row from left are Jacob Koy, Scott Matus (Scoutmaster), Nate Muir, Nathaniel Hayner.
