Student/Scout Projects

Decomposed Granite Walk Way with two benches. Nathan Tussing from Troop 59 will complete the walkway by removing 3 inches of top soil and replacing this with road base dirt and 3 inches of decomposed granite. This project started on 8-29-12 and will be completed in the spring of 2013. Nathan will also provide two benches.

This landscaping project will involve the purchasing and planting 8 to 9 roses in the front yard of the Elk Grove Stage Stop Museum. A donation from the Elk Grove Garden Club will help to fund the purchase of the roses. Connor will fabricate concrete pedestal for each of the roses to hold a memorial plaque (also supplied by the EG Garden Club). The scout will provide 5 to 7 landscaping moss rocks and rack the area in preparation for planting. We will have 4 trees to plant in the area of this project and this can be done if the trees are purchased by others in time for the completion of this project by the end of March 2013.
