MATAMORAS, PA — On the evening of November 9, Milford Boy Scouts Troop 1071 and the Milford Cub Scout Pack 1071 joined together to clean up Veteran’s Memorial Park and Education Center. 

Working together, over 50 Scouts and family volunteers were able to clear the grounds of any seasonal debris and garbage in preparation for the upcoming Veteran’s Day ceremony. 

The Scouts paid special attention to the areas around the monuments to ensure they were cleaned and preserved. 

The Milford 1071 Family of Units said that it is grateful for the close relationship with the Veteran’s Memorial Park and Education Center committee, which allowed them the opportunity to teach the Scouts reverence and the importance of giving back to the community. 

The Family of Units consists of Pack 1071 and Troops 1071B and 1071G, and is chartered by the Milford Evangelical Presbyterian Church. 

With almost 100 youth served by the combined units, there are many opportunities available for boys and girls in the area to learn new skills, help the community, and develop wonderful friendships to last a lifetime, the Family of Units said.
