Meet Caroline — a dedicated Eagle Scout candidate who just activated two new FillABag stations in her hometown of Virginia Beach.
*
Caroline first discovered FillABag while visiting her grandmother in South Carolina. Inspired by the idea, and at her grandma's suggestion, she decided to make it the focus of her Eagle Scout project. After researching, Caroline reached out, learned about our "DIY - Do It Yourself" program, got to work, brought FillABag to her community — and the impact is already being felt.
*
She placed her stations at 63rd Street and 77th Street, locations recommended by local lifeguards as high-traffic areas needing extra love. Now, anyone walking by can grab a bucket, collect a little trash, turn an ordinary walk into a meaningful cleanup, and help keep the shoreline beautiful.
*
Caroline credits her family, friends, scout troop, and the city for helping bring her vision to life. When she’s not making her community cleaner, she loves art, science and engineering, athletics, and spending time outdoors walking, running, or hiking.
*
Her message to all of us?
“Small actions truly add up. Anyone can make a difference, one bucket at a time.”
*
Join us in celebrating Caroline and the growing FillABag movement in Virginia Beach!
