The Clinton Boy Scouts are hosting a fundraiser to help with the costs of restoring Black Locust Campgrounds.
Ed Cicenas, Assistant Scout Master for Scout Troop 1142, indicates the restoration of Black Locust has been a five-year project. He says the next step is installing public restrooms and they have run into problems with state requirements and the necessary costs.
Cicenas notes this summer, while they were preparing to move ahead with the restrooms, found out that the money that had fundraised and received would not be enough to cover the additional specifications.
An anonymous donor has agreed to donate to the Scouts but wants to see them do more fundraising first. Troop 1142 will host a drive-thru dinner at the American Legion on September 5. The dinner is by ticket only.
Tickets for the dinner need to be purchased by August 30. To purchase contact Kim Pakidis at (217) 201-8622 or any Scout Leader.
