Scouts from the ACS Boy Scout Troop 389 and Cub Pack 389 were out in force on June 8 to help clean up our community by picking up trash and litter on the school grounds and along Zion Road from our school campus to Ocean Heights Avenue.

Scoutmaster Mike Jorgenson said the scouts will be doing this service project four times a year and will receive grant funding from the Atlantic County Utilities Authority for their efforts.

“We applaud the scouts for stepping forward to take on a service project that will benefit our school and the surrounding community,” said Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen. “What a great way to learn about the importance of being good stewards of our environment.”
