On April 27, Scouting America, in partnership with Clean California, Caltrans District 5, Pitch In Santa Cruz County, and Santa Cruz County Parks, took action to beautify local recreational spaces by removing litter from Anna Jean Cummings Park in Soquel and the Capitola-Soquel Baseball Complex during the 2nd annual Great Scout Trash Out, an event to celebrate Earth Day.
Together, Scouts and volunteers collected over 10 bags of trash, improving the environment for families, athletes, and nature lovers in the Santa Cruz community.
The cleanup effort highlights the Scouts’ commitment to service and environmental stewardship while reinforcing the power of collaboration among local organizations.
Scouts proudly took part in the effort, receiving heartfelt thanks from members of the baseball and park community.
The event serves as a reminder that small actions can create a big impact, and organizers encourage community members to continue their efforts to keep local parks clean and enjoyable for all.
