Fairfield, CT - Eleven Scouts and five adults from BSA Troop 90 pitched in to help clean up the Greenfield Hill Grange #133 Spring Grounds on Saturday, April 6.
Grange Hall buildings are meeting places of The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. There are over 60 such buildings which are historic and are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Greenfield Hill Grange #133 is a Queen Anne style building in Fairfield in the U.S. state of Connecticut. Built in 1897, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
The Connecticut State Grange is a fraternal organization with roots in rural and agricultural history and the Grange ritual. It serves as the unifying and supportive organization of community and district Granges in programs of community service, family activities, legislation, and other activities relevant to local communities. For more information see their web site.
The team of scouts and adults efficiently raked up winter debris, loaded it on tarps and disposed of it at the back of the property. Lunch was graciously provided by The Grange membership.
"Thanks to all who helped with the spring cleanup at the Grange," said David Walker, BSA Troop 90 Committee Chair. "It was a great weekend!"
