Scouts and their families from Cub Scout Packs 913, 1170, 1530, and 1540 and Boy Scout Troops 55, 1530, and 1983 filled 15 large garbage bags with garlic mustard, an invasive plant, from Cub Run Stream Valley Park in collaboration with Fairfax County Park Authority's Invasive Management Area program. In addition to learning about the importance of removing invasive plants and participating in a community service project, Scouts earned a Conservation Good Turn, an award for participating in a hands-on project to help the environment.
